Overview:  Batter Breakline operation calculates a new breakline adjacent to the Reference breakline creating a sloped wall (batter) that lines up to a surface.  This is used to finalize drain channels or embankments.

Batter Breakline

• Horizontal Offset - offset distance from the center breakline or reference breakline.  E.g. If base is 15ft wide, offset distance is 7.5ft.
• Up 1v:h - define h (horizontal) in the up slope ratio, ie if slope is 1:20 then insert 20
  
• Down 1v:h - define h (horizontal) in the down slope ratio, ie if slope is 1:20 then insert 20
• Direction - refers to the 'Left' or 'Right' of the clicked breakline, usually best to select 'Both' then delete the unwanted batter.
• Shoot Slope To - select the reference surface where the breakline will be shot from
• Shot Interval (m or ft) - define interval between breakline points, recommended to use 5m or 15ft
• Max Distance (m or ft) - Define the maximum horizontal distance from the reference breakline the batter will shoot out to
• Triangulate without breaklines for calculation:  Triangulate the surface before shooting the batter lines. It is highly recommended to tick this ON.
• Update related offset and batter lines if they exist:  Delete old offset or batter lines to make way for the new batter lines.
• Delete points inside batter:  Delete points caught inside the batters and base or crest.
