Press the "OK" key in order to load the new sloping surface design.Point-and-Direction Method
Instead of entering a second point, you can enter the direction and grade. The specified values are used to create the master alignment of the sloping surface.The direction specifies the bearing of the master alignment.The grade is the grade at which the master alignment rises or falls along the specified bearing. You can enter the grade as a ratio or a percentage.As you travel in the specified direction, a positive (+) grade rises and a negative (-) grade falls.The grade in a Grade field is normally expressed as a ratio. A grade of 1:1000 (or 0.1 percent) is nearly level and a grade of 1:8 (or 12.5 percent) is very steep for a road.Note: For any site, there is a grade that it is too steep for machines to operate at. Find out what this is for your workplace and make sure that you do not create roads steeper than this.To enter a sloping surface using the Point-and-Direction method complete the following steps:
Press the "Design: <Name>" soft key from the guidance screens. The "Select Design File" dialog appears.
Press the "New Slope" soft key. The "New Design: Sloping Surface" dialog appears.

Perform one of the following actions:
Press the "Here" soft key in order to use the current position of the guidance point that has focus.One of the "Blade: Left" or "Blade: Right" Soft Keys appears in the Level Surface Design dialog. This ensures that you know which blade tip the position is taken from.Note: If the "Here" soft key is not available, it means that a high accuracy position is not available. For more information, refer to Operation and Maintanence Manual, "Troubleshooting Techniques".

Press the "Direction" Soft Key. The "New Design: Sloping Surface" dialog shows the direction and grade fields. Refer to Illustration 8.
Use the arrow keys to enter the direction value in decimal degrees. This defines the master alignment clockwise from north (for example, 123.5 degrees).0 degrees - North90 degrees -
