This dialog is accessible by selecting a Ditches Component in the Template Editor dialog and pressing the Properties button.
Ditches are attached to the edge of the sub-grade and can be automatically included in the template depending on the relationship of the template and topography. Changes to the ditch object are made through this dialog box.
