If you want to use two separate slope designs, the point to start is point 3. That is the only way to make sure you can apply the 6:1 slope in combination with the ditch. If you start at point 2, you could run into problems when the 6:1 slope needs to interact directly with the ditch.

The display rule could be something like when total width for 4:1 and 6:1 slope is less than X, display only slope 6:1.
X is the distance where you want to switch between the combined slopes or just the 6:1 slope.

Jan,

I got busy working on the field and I wanted some more insight on the approach to this problem. Should I just add the Ditch and Backslope starting at Point #2? What Display Rules would you use? Parametric Restraints or something more simple?

Thank you,

Jan,

Thank you! I will give that a try.

Enrique,

This looks to me as something you need to resolve using two separate solutions where one of the partial templates has both the 6:1 and 4:1 slopes, and another partial template only has the 6:1 slope.
Using display rules you can let the template determine when to show the combined 6:1 and 4:1, and when to show only the 6:1.
