Identify Slopes

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

  • This is a Civil application. But if you are working with a newer release with terrain elements, it might be possible to define a theme to do this. Otherwise, you would need InRoads or GEOPAK or MX.

    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...
