Applying a Linear Slope to a Pond
Use the Pond Slopes ä Linear command to define a linear slope for the pond
and apply it to all the vertices of the pond perimeter. Use this command if you
want the pond to have the same slope applied to every vertex.
Two variables are required for this command. You can specify the ponds
elevation, depth, or create daylight lines; and you must specify the slope or
grade.
NOTE
You can use this command on defined ponds as well as on polylines. If you
use it with a shaped pond, then you are prompted to overwrite the pond
rim information. The pond rim information is the data that is created by
shaping the pond (contours, bottom, and slope control lines).
To apply a linear slope to a pond
1
Draw a pond perimeter. For more information, see Drawing a Pond Perimeter
in this chapter.
2
From the Grading menu, choose Pond Slopes ä Linear.
The following prompt is displayed:
Select polyline:
3
Select the pond perimeter from your drawing.
The Pond Name dialog box is displayed. If the pond is named (defined), then
the pond name appears in the Pond Name box. If the pond is not named, then
the name field is blank. Type a name for the pond.

Click OK.
NOTE
If you selected an existing pond that has already been shaped, then a
message is displayed asking if you want to overwrite the existing pond rim
information. You must click Yes to continue the command.
Next, you are prompted to select an offset side.
