Assigning Slope Materials
To assign materials:
- Select Assign Materials from the Slope menu or the toolbar.
- In the Assign Materials dialog, click on the material type you are going to be assigning.
- Click on slope line segments to which you want to apply that material.
You can also apply a material to a slope segment by clicking in the highlighted region below it, where applicable (for overhangs and vertical slope segments, you must click on the slope line segments themselves). - Close the Assign Materials dialog box when you have finished assigning the materials.
TIP: Note that you can go to the Slope Material Library by selecting Properties in the Assign Materials dialog.
To quickly assign a material to one segment of the slope:
- Right-click on the slope segment.
- Select Assign Materials from the popup menu.
- Select the material you want to use.
To quickly assign a material to the entire slope:
- Right-click on the slope segment.
- Select Assign Materials to Entire Slope from the popup menu.
- Select the material you want to use.
TIP: Multiple adjacent slope segments can be quickly assigned material by enclosing them in a selection window. Click and hold the left mouse button, and drag to create a window. All segments within and crossing the window will be assigned the material. For example, you could quickly assign a single material to the entire slope in this manner.
