Profile by Variable Slope from Element Tool - Slope Style Extension

What is the function of the Variable Slope from Element Tool when the Slope Style is selected to be Extension?  When you go through the prompts I get to a prompt which asks "locate element to define slope", what type of element is it looking for?

  • Wesley,

    I don't know what your background is, but if inroads, the tool do similar job to vertical gore tool in roadway designer.

    Simple examples of application of the tool are merge/diverge areas. Especially, when you merge/diverge on curves or spirals. You may want to project main carriageway slope onto slip road alignment. In such case, your references would be inside and outside edge of pavement.

    However, be careful with this tool and check the results. Sometimes it doesn't work as its supposed to. I logged few service tickets.

    Best regards,
    Krzysztof
