Configuring the Grading Targets Settings
The target settings control what the projection lines from the footprint will
intercept. A slope target can be an existing surface (one surface per grading
object), an elevation, or an offset distance. When you create a grading object,
one target region encompasses the entire footprint. The start station of this
target region is at the beginning of the footprint and the end station is at the
end of the footprint.
You can add multiple targets and multiple target regions to a grading object, but
for each target region there is only one target. Target regions are absolute,
meaning that there is no transition from one target to the next.
NOTE
To create a grading object that grades to a terrain model surface, you must
have an existing terrain model surface. You can only grade to one surface
per grading object. If there are no surfaces in the current project, then you
are prompted to select a target elevation or a target distance when entering
the initial grading settings or using the Grading Wizard.
After you have created a grading object you can add target regions. You can
change the location of target regions in the spreadsheet section of the
Targets tab or you can graphically edit the target regions by dragging the
target region grips.
NOTE
Target regions are independent of slope tags. When you add a region, the
new region has a slope that is interpolated from the previous slope tag and
the next slope tag. Slope tags can co-exist with target region boundaries,
but remain independent.
