intersecting slopes

[Cory Sullivan]

I have two slopes which intersect at right angles, one is a 3:1 slope the
other is a 2:1. The slopes were created by a series of offset 3d
polylines... I not sure of the easiest way to connect them were they
intersect to create a rounded corner.

Can someone give me some suggestions on how to handle this. Thanks

Would the intersection make an inside corner or an outside corner?

It would be making an inside corner.

If I understand correctly, I would do the following:

Create a grid of slope 'A' (3d poly and 3d offset of poly).
Be sure to make the grid dense enough to properly model but not too dense
that it takes forever to process. (I default to a 5'x5' grid, but make it
bigger
if it is a larger area and may make 3'x3' in a really small area.)

Then use DESIGN PAD TEMPLATE to project the slope from polyline 'B'
to the intersection with the grid solved from slope 'A'.

The DESIGN PAD TEMPLATE routine alows the option of solving from
a grid file, entities, or an elevation. The entities option may sound
easier, but
I found that it does not solve correctly. It seems to include the template
poly
in the reference surface. Stick with grid for this one.

Thanks terry

it looks like that should work
