14. The Segment # (Fill HP) field is used to select which
segment to compute the slope from in a fill situation. This
is useful when your road profile includes a ditch and you
are staking an area that requires a fill. In this situation,
the ditch would not be necessary so you have the option to
compute the slope from Segment 1. (See illustration.)
15. Tap Stake CP > to begin locating the catch points.

16. If the Force Cut Slope / Force Fill Slope / Automatic Slope
button is set to Automatic Slope (recommended), a
cut slope will automatically be selected if the hinge
point is located below the surface of the terrain and a
fill slope will be selected if the hinge point is above
the terrain. You can also force the computed values
to be based on a cut slope or fill slope by tapping the
button until it reads Force CUT Slope or Force
FILL Slope respectively.
17. The Results button will display more detailed cut fill
and location results, which is also accessible from the
Store Catch Point screen.
Note: The Results button is only available from the Store
Catch Point screen when using GPS or Remote mode,
which is accessed after tapping Store >.
18. The Vertical Map / Horizontal Map / Shot Data button is
used to toggle which information is displayed on the screen.
