how does this tool work if a wish to break up a slope evenly with benching? it doesnt seem to terrace a slope evenly with any input i have put in...
Hi,
Just some idea.
1. Benching Count: maximum numbers of repeated benches. "0" mean infinity numbers until target is found.
2. Step Elevation: the height of step. In the example, the step height was designed as 7.5m. But if we set Step elevation as 6.0m. The Step will be repeated as 6.0m instead of inital design (7.5m).
3. From Datum: the start of complete step. In the example, the From Datum is 5.0m. The 1st completed step was started beyond 5.0m. Lower than that 5.0m, the step height will be adjusted until the "From Datum" height is reached to start the 1st completed step.
So, in your case, maybe you can click ON the "Benching Count" as 0 and click OFF for "From Datum" and "Step Elevation".
Hope it helps.
