Ditch Properties dialog
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.
Left and Right Options
Depth
Depth of ditch measured from edge of the sub-grade to the bottom of ditch.
Slope %
If Auto is selected, the ditch slopes will be determined from the ground type.
Width
Width of a ditch measured at the bottom. A width of 0 will yield a triangular shaped ditch.
AutoCalc, Include, Exclude
The ditch will be automatically included if the closest road edge is below the original ground and will be excluded if it is above. If Include is set the ditch will be always included. Similarly if Exclude is set the ditch will be always excluded.
Display
This option toggles the display of this Ditch Object in the Template Editor.
