Using Grips to Edit the Target Regions
Target regions are sections along the footprint that establish what the slope will
project to (a surface, an elevation, or a distance). For example, one target region
along the footprint may project to a surface, while the next target region may
project to an elevation. You can use grips to change the location of target
regions.
The following illustration shows grading target regions.
Target region grips
NOTE
You cannot move the target region grip of the first region. This first target
region grip is coincident with the first slope tag grip, which cannot be
moved either.
To move a target region using grip edits
1
Click on a grading object in your drawing.
2
Select a target region grip.
3
Slide the target region grip to a new location.
NOTE
You cannot move a target region tag past a slope tag, or past another
target region tag.
When you access the Grading Properties dialog box, the new location of the
target region displays in the spreadsheet section of the Targets tab.
Using Grips to Edit the Slope Tag Locations and
Slope Values
Slope tags define a location along the footprint where a specific slope is applied.
Slope tags affect the slope of the projection lines before and after the tag by
transitioning. When transitioning from one slope tag to the next the change in
the slope always remains linear to the footprint.
