Cut/Fill Slope Lines

This command draws cut/fill slope lines with slope direction arrows. The arrowhead points in the downward direction of the slope. The cut/fill slopes are defined by selecting a 3D polyline for the top of slope and another 3D polyline for the toe of slope.In the options dialog, the Style chooses the type of symbol to draw: arrow, Y or 3-line. The Interval sets the spacing of the slope lines along the top of slope polyline. There are settings for the arrowhead size and the layer for the slope lines. The Solid Cut Arrows option allows for different style arrowheads for cut and fill slopes. The Hatch Settings control whether to hatch the area between the top and toe 3D polylines and the hatch properties to use.
