I apologize if this is in the wrong forum, I'm fairly new to Microstation.
I'm working on a project that requires me to identify a variety of slopes (3:1, 2:1, 4:1, etc). The client requires that each slope type receive a different treatment for stabilization and show it on the plans as hatch patterns, is there a way that Microstation can identify the slopes and either hatch them or create some type of boundary around each slope type so I can hatch them afterwards? We currently are doing this manually as you can guess it takes forever, any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

if you really have 3d dtm or surface or mesh then you can use the the View settings ( Control B) to show slope in the rendered views as THEMATIC map if you dont get it look it up in help under thematic and slope, it can show slope in different colour bands and shows a bar chart menu .. produce a pdf of this in seconds but its only a view not objects... but for showing client the topography of the slope its awsome.... and fast... Inroads has isopacs but this is so much quicker and easy...
I have attached screen shot, ( contours.zip - rename to contours.pdf and you can see what print looks like must use rasterise whin creating print) and dgn for you to look at settings in view attributesI just knocked up a random mesh like inverted pyramid 50 m to 100 m for z and 10 to 20 m apart... I'm not expert at this but it shows how easy it was...
