Slope Report (SR):

This command reports the horizontal area along with the slope area of a figure defined by a range of points. The

command actually executes the TRIANGULATION command to compute the slopes within the defined area. There are

options to include breaklines, use a predefined TIN model, and prompt for inclusion/exclusion areas. If you use a TIN

model, you should click on "Prompt for Inclusion/Exclusion" and then pick perimeters where the calculation will be

applied.

Consider the figure defined by points numbered 570, 97, 569, 584, 585, 75, and back to 570 as shown below. From the

COGO AREA command, we see that the horizontal area of the enclosing polygon is 11,653.4122 Sq Ft. Performing the

SLOPE REPORT yields the same horizontal results, but also reports the slope area, and the maximum, minimum, and
