Distance: To grade out to a specified distance, select this option, and then
enter the horizontal distance that the slopes project to. This forces all
vertices on the daylight line to be located at this horizontal distance from
the footprint, using the defined slope at any point within that target region.
Select Cut if you want the footprint to match up toward the target distance
(the footprint is at a lower elevation than the target). Select Fill if you want
the footprint to match down toward the target distance (the footprint is at a
higher elevation than the target).

NOTE
You can specify the slopes that are used in cut and fill situations in the
slope settings.

Under Local Overrides of Grading Target (Regions), you can edit target regions
and add and delete target regions. Target regions define the area of the footprint
