Earthworks Infield Design Alignment and Section Slope

Thanks Jeff this Merle the Squirrel, this was very helpful

Is there a way to make a variable slope? Let’s say your toe has a 3% drop but you want the top pad to be level and still maintain the same distance from toe to pad

[@JeffLarsen-iz8qk]

Yes. It’s all when you create the first alignment and shots that the infield model is based off, then when you create the slopes of that is where you create those slopes. Like the 3% off your slope just make it up or down for what you need, then once you continue to offset to the side of that, make the top flat and that top flat will always be flat to the side but it will rise and fall with your toe if that makes sense.

@@JeffLarsen-iz8qk I’m a little confused with that lol. The best way I can explain it is with storage units. Let’s say I want to make a flat building pad, then a parking lot with a flow line, then another building pad. If you use the building pad as your first alignment you won’t have pitch in your flow line but if you use your flow line as your first alignment your building pad won’t be flat, it will be the same % as your flow line
