This option is used to calculate the slope (amount of fall) of each triangle in a tin, and then colour all the triangles in the tin based on the slope range file.

Pick the <Slope Type> button and select the type of slope required, the ‘Percentage Cross Fall’ has been used for this example.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3473″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Pick the <Range File> button and then walk right on the [Lib] (Library) directory, and select the ‘Range_Slope_2_percent_interval.srf’ file.
Note: The [Lib] (Library) directory always contains the files that are provided with the 12d Model program. These files can be exactly what you are looking for and be used straight away, or a great example file that can be used to create the file required.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3474″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hit the <Slope> button and the triangles of the selected tin will be coloured based on colours in the slope range file.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3475″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]To see how the Tin looks after the triangles have been coloured based on the slope range file, use the ‘tin solid’ option, this is found under the <Toggle> button, as shown in the image below. Then select the <Tin Solid> option, the tin will then be shaded and show the triangles new colours.

In this example there is a different set of graduated colours for each 10% change in percentage slope. Each colour is graduated by 5 different shades.
