This command is used in conjunction with Design Pad Template. It allows the
user to modify an existing pad design that has been generated with
Design Pad Template. The
original design criteria of the pad can be modified and the routine
will automatically re-calculate volumes, re-draw contours,
disturbed limits, tin lines, etc. Possible modifications to the pad
include cut/fill slopes, pad elevation, x-y position (the pad can
moved to a new location), horizontal offset, a single pad vertex
can moved to a new location, a new target surface can be specified,
and finally, the pad and all of its elements can be deleted. Once
the new design parameters are set, the routine will regenerate the
pad based on the new parameters. The standard report viewer opens
to display the new volume calculation and other design
info.
Edit Pad Template requires a target surface to project to, which
is typically the surface designated as the Source of Slope Target
Surface Model in the Design Pad Template command. In Design
Pad Template, when prompted to "Update Surface File" select
Yes.
First the user is prompted to pick the pad polyline, which must
be the original polyline used with Design Pad Template command.
Subsequent edits to the Pad Template must also be initiated with
the selection of that polyline. The Editing functions are displayed
in an interactive docked sidebar dialog.
Use Slope Groups allows the assignment of varied slopes
along the length of the Pad Template. Select the checkbox,
and pick the Set button to access the Assign Pad Cut/Fill Slopes
dialog box.
Fill Slope: displays the original fill slope criteria,
select to edit to a new
value.
Cut Slope: displays the original cut slope criteria, select to edit to a new value.
Elevation Delta:
enter a value to adjust
the elevation of the entire pad template.
Pad Volume: displays the cut/fill volume generated with the last use of either Design Pad Template or Edit Pad Template.
Surface: displays the
target surface, pick Set
button to change.
Move Pad: Pick to move the Pad Template to a new location on the site. The user is prompted at the command line to "Pick start point for translation" and then "Pick end point for translation." The pad is moved to the new location, with contours, tin lines, disturbed area and volumes regenerated on the fly.
Move Vertex: Pick to move a vertex on the Pad
Template. The user
is prompted to screen select any vertex within the pad and place it
in a new location. The pad vertex is moved to the new
location, with contours, tin lines, disturbed area and volumes
regenerated on the fly.
Add Vertex: Pick the position for a
new point to add into the pad perimeter.
Remove Vertex: Select a point on the
pad perimeter to remove.
Offset: Pick to apply a horizontal offset of
the pad perimeter polyline. Enter the amount of offset desired in
the field and then specify whether it is to go in or
out.
Note: For subsequent operations of
Edit Pad Template, the
original pad polyline must be selected when prompted. The offset
pad polyline is not eligible for selection.
Rotate Pad: Pick to rotate the Pad
Template.
Balance: Pick to automatically adjust the Pad
Template elevation to balance the cut and fill
volumes.
Delete: removes all of the pad design entities that were generated with Design Pad Template or Edit Pad Template.
Report: Pick to generate a cut/fill volume
report.
Write TIN: Saves a TIN surface file
of the pad surface.
Process: proceeds with the re-design of the pad using the current criteria.

surface model file used as a target surface.
