Site Modifiers

[alfresco]

VW 2013. I am working on a site model and not sure about the new Pad withRetaining Edge. I need to cut a vertical Battered Slope for foundation walls. How does this work with the sending grade limits to surface?

Thanks

Hi

When you send the pad with grade limits to the surface, the pad itself remains at the elevation you have defined in the Elevation field. However, the retaining edge sends its corner vertices to the surface of the model. If you then click Reshape, you will see that the retaining edge has blue reshape handles and you can move these to create the effect you want for the modifier.

Hope that helps

Tamsin,

When I used the pd with retaining edge, and used the send to surface command I was getting unpredictable results. Not sure what I was doing incorrectly.

I created a pad and set a grade limit. I selected the grade limit and used the send to surface command. It worked as predicted.

Thanks, as always very helpful!
