Auto Bench and Batter tools

Within n4ce 4.30 we have introduced a new feature called Auto Bench and Batter which enables users to enter the specific requirements such as:

First, open a model and select Design --> Batter --> Bench and Batter. The window above will open and allow us to enter specific requirements for the Benching and Batters.

Benching 

Code: The code which will be used for points generated on the Bench.

Width: This is the width of the Bench being generated. 

Slope 1: This is the angle in which will be used for the Bench being generated.

Bench Flat: This allows you to either have a flat or sloped bench depending on the option selected.

Slope Width: This is the width of the Bench following the angle in which it is placed.

Batters

Code: The code which will be used for points generated on the Batters.

Height: This is the Height of the Batters being generated. 

Sope 1: This is the angle in which will be used for the Batters being generated.

Slope Height: This is the height of the Batter following the angle in which it is placed.

Model

Up: The Bench and Batters will only be projected up depending on the reference DTM.

Down: The Bench and Batters will only be projected down depending on the reference DTM.

Both: This will project the Bench and Batters in both directions depending on the reference DTM.

Create Triangles: Automatically creates a DTM from the Points generated.
