The DitchWithBermInFill subassembly places a ditch with predefined geometry and creates a berm in fill and cut conditions.
The slope of the berm is also predefined and the link that is created extends until it finds a surface target.
Attachment
The attachment point is at the inside edge of the first link.

Behavior
The subassembly builds the shape for a ditch using the input parameters. Once the ditch shape is built the ditch is determined to be in cut or fill. If in cut, a daylight link is added using the daylight slope. If in fill, a berm is created using the side slope width.
Layout Mode Operation
In layout mode the subassembly displays the links comprising the ditch in the fill condition.
Point, Link, and Shape Codes
