Create 3D by Slope to Target. Use the Create 3D by Slope to Target tool to create a 3D element computed from a linear element to a surface.

  1. Open the Civil Tools task pane to the 3DGeometry section then click the Create 3D by Slope to Target icon.
  2. When you move the cursor into the View, it is equipped with a command prompt requesting that you choose a "Slope Option", so strike the down arrow key to navigate the available options then data point, example, left click.

    • The Create 3D by Slope to Target dialog opens.

    • Checking the box next to any of the fields locks in the associated value.

  3. When prompted to choose a Slope Option, navigate the options by striking the up or down arrow key then strike the Enter key.
  4. When prompted to choose a Cut Fill Option, navigate the options by striking the up or down arrow key then strike the Enter key.
  5. Use one of the following methods to set the Cut and/or Fill values:
