Earth Cut
The "Earth cut" frame serves to specify the shape of an open cut. This function allows us to modify the terrain profile within a given stage of construction. Several earth cuts can be introduced at the same time. In such a case, some of the lines in the cut appear partially above the terrain.
A table listing individual interface points is displayed in the left part of the frame. Inputting an earth cut interface follows the same steps as used for standard interfaces.
An open cut cannot be specified in the first stage of construction.
An earth cut cannot be built if there is an embankment already specified in a given stage. In this case, an embankment must be removed, or the earth cut must be constructed in the next construction stage.
Input interfaces of an earth cut can be copied within all 2D GEO5 programs using "GeoClipboard".
