Command Overview

Adjusts a string to fit a gradient. This command modifies the elevations of points on a selected string.  Segments after the selected point based on string direction (that is, the increasing PTN values) will match a specified gradient.

Command Steps:

  1. Run the command. If there is no current string, you are prompted to select one.

  2. Select a reference point on the selected string.

  3. Select the type of gradient. By default, this is the one set using the set-gradient-convention ("grc") command.

  4. Enter the gradient value.

  5. Click OK.

    The string is vertically adjusted so the selected point is on the correct elevation, with all other elevations adjusted to the new gradient.
