Configuring the Grading Corners Settings

To control how the slopes are projected from the footprint when there is a

convex (outside) angle in the footprint, change the grading corners settings.

In Convex (Outside) Corner Treatment section, you can choose from miter,

radial, chamfer, and no cleanup corners settings to specify the global corner

treatment setting. This setting is initially applied to all corners on the footprint.

In the Local Overrides on Convex (Outside) Corner Treatment section, you

can specify the corner treatment setting on a corner-by-corner basis.

NOTE

The miter cleanup method is automatically applied to any concave corners

on the footprint. Corner cleanup is not applied when a slope tag or target

region boundary lies within the corner cleanup area. You must move the

target region or slope tag out of the corner cleanup area.

NOTE

Corner treatments do not apply to convex or concave arcs along the

footprint. You can establish the increments of the radial projection lines of

concave and convex arcs in the accuracy settings.

The following illustration shows the corner treatments.
