Slope manager

In order to avoid dangers and damage, rainwater must drain off quickly. Calculating the necessary gradients by hand can take a long time. With the DATAflor Slope manager, these slopes can be created quickly and reliably, for example for the drainage planning of sealed surfaces or as a design aspect.

You need (at least two) planning points for a slope. The points are connected to one another and are then available as a point list.

After calling the function Slope manager allows you to create new points for a slope by deriving the height of objects, specifying the height, slope or height difference, or inferring an existing drawing object.

A point can be linked to any number of points and with every change, the slope, distances and heights are automatically updated and labeled. This means enormous time savings.

In dialogue Slope manager the points of the last slope created are displayed in a point list. After selecting one or more points, these can be edited.

	Edit options: Opens the options (see chapter Gradient options), in which settings for labeling and dimensions can be made.
	Choose slope: Saves the changes to the current slope and prompts you to select a new slope object. Once selected, the new point list is displayed in the Slope Manager dialog
	Export point list: Save the point list as CSVFile. This can then be used, for example, for setting out in the area.
	Add points: Adds one or more points to the slope. To do this, the Gradient Manager dialog is closed and the next point is requested. This is then added to the list.
	Select points: One or more points can be selected in the drawing. These points are automatically marked in the point list.
	Zoom selection: Zooms in on the points marked in the point list.
	Delete selection: The points marked in the point list are deleted. The point numbers are then automatically updated.

All slope points are listed and can be found in your visibility be changed. The values ​​for X, Y, Z and for that gradient can be changed. In addition, the values ​​for Z and for the slope fixed and thus be locked against changes. Fixed values ​​are marked in color in the point list and in the drawing.
To change the values, click in the corresponding field, change the value and confirm your entry with Enter-Button. All dependent values, if not fixed, are automatically recalculated.

A slope or a height can be calculated automatically for a selected point or for a point range.

1. Either select a point or mark a point range in the point list.
2. Select the automatic slope calculation: slope, height (same slope) or height (same height difference). The individual calculation methods are explained below.
3. The a chosen point Can you do this Set a goal. Select a point on the slope in the drawing and enter the value required for the calculation. The calculation is then carried out.
   
   

   If there is a dependent slope, a calculation is only possible from the base slope to the dependent slope and not vice versa.

   At a marked point area can you do one Assign value. Enter the value required for the calculation. The calculation is then carried out.

   With the calculation methods height (same slope) and height (same height difference), the value describes the difference between the first and the last selected point. The intermediate points are calculated automatically.

In dialogue Gradient options the settings for labeling and dimensions can be changed and saved in different configurations.
