Adding Geogrid to Slope

Drawing Method
To add geogrid layers to a slope, the user can draw in the geogrid layer by layer, similar to drawing soil lines. After drawing, the user can assign the material to the geogrid.
Grid Array
The grid array method is easier than the drawing method to generate geogrid layers with the same type and same length at one time. To use the grid array method, the user must set up the geogrid properties first, using the Material Set Up dialog box. After materials have been set up, the user can click the Grid Array button on the Toolbar. The Grid Array dialog box will appear. The user must select the geogrid type from the pull down list, and then provide the start elevation, end elevation, vertical spacing, and geogrid length for the corresponding data cells. Once the user clicks the Close button, geogrid layers will appear on the profile.

The user can use the grid array method repeatedly to generate different types or different lengths of geogrid layers.
The maximum layers of geogrid should not exceed 100.
