Flatten Spoil Top

This command takes a surface polyline drawn with a spoil pile and flattens the top of the spoil pile. There are two methods to set the flatten width. The By Distance method sets the horizontal distance across the top to equal the user-specified distance. The By Height method sets the elevation of the flatten to the specified height above a reference point like the pit floor. With this method, the program will prompt to pick the reference point.

The flatten direction will either push to the left, right or both directions. This step can be stored to a sequence file (.seq) for the Process Dragline Sequence command.
