Create Ridge Slope

Interpolated Ridge Slope

The LAND4 Create Ridge Slope tool enables you to interpolate a Ridge Slope based on:

• a LANDSurface
• a Ridge Line not part of the LANDSurface, and
• a Fall Percentage.

Dynamic object and relations

The generated Ridge Slope will be a dynamic object and a child of the LANDSurface and Ridge Line. If one of the parents are moved, elevated, or otherwise updated, the Ridge Slope will be updated accordingly.

Generate Ridge Slope

To generate a Ridge Slope:

1. Select Ridge Line and LANDSurface.
2. Go to:
   • LAND4/Group Palettes/Show Ridge Line Palette, or
   • LAND4 Palette/Ridge Lines.
3. Press Create Ridge Slope button.
4. Enter Fall Percentage in pop-up Fall Palette.
5. Click on the side of the Ridge Line where you want to place your Ridge Slope.

After interpolation

A Ridge Slope is a projected line. It indicates where a Ridge Line’s slope would meet a LandSurface based on a set Fall Percentage.

Ridge Slopes on both sides of Ridge Line

You can generate Ridge Slopes on both sides of a Ridge Line. Differing Fall Percentages can be used for each of the two sides.
