Looking for workflow advice. I have an Existing Ground terrain that I need to run a theoretical pathway on, that has a "not to exceed cross slope constraint of 6:1". Any place where Existing Ground exceeds that cross slope, grading has to be done. Grading needs to be as optimized as possible. Any suggestions? Thanks you.
Hi Matt,
I would set the levels for one of the existing path edges and project that at +6:1 and -6:1 to the other edge to give you an envelope to work in. That envelope will dynamically update if you change the edges so it should be relatively easy to keep an eye on your limits (if that makes sense).

Thanks Mark. Yes, that does make perfect sense. Any thoughts on how that envelope could be used along with a template to grade out this corridor while maintaining that “not to exceed cross slope” limit?
What I had in mind was a corridor in which my template would seek the active terrain until that 6:1+ or 6:1- was broken, in which case it would then kick out some grading to bring it back into spec?
Is this achievable using a display rule perhaps or I was also thinking that this might be possible using the Overlay/Milling template setup?
I would use Stacked end conditions. If the 6:1 (+/-) end section fails, the next end section would draw the grading.
