Are there options in InRoads for generating the 3D slope direction symbology lines for cut and fills in plan view, similar to the Slope Signature Strings using a TadPole symbol in MXROAD? I saw the discussion here within describing it using MXRoad and would like to have it available in InRoads.
Currently running InRoads XM 08.09
Thanks

Mike,
We implemented this functionality in InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 1).

Im using BRT V8i (SELECT series 1), V08.11.07.229. The slope signature doesn't seem to work properly, it draws the same thing regardless of what primary, secondary, and reference element you pick. Also, I think it can't display tadpoles like MX, if it can, please can you guide us how?.Thanks.
I am unsure as to the process of how MX draws the "tadpoles" or Slope Direction Pattern (InRoads > drafting command).
In InRoads, Display the DTM Features if using interactive mode. Define the symbology. Apply. Then Select the two features to draw the tadpoles, Primary; Secondary; then reference. Reference is the line or feature that determines the interval and direction (normal to the reference line). Generally that wouuld be the shoulder or EP line.
If you want it automated, then use feature style pairs.
Example style pairs: Shoulder -> toe of slope and/or Ditch Bottom -> top of cut
This will automatically place the patterning betwen features of these styles.
Are these the results you desire?
Its ok now, Im not sure what happened but before, its displaying the tick marks in the same side regardless if its in cut or fill. However, my window/panel looks different from yours.
