# Slope Grading By Pads

![The Slope Grading by Pads Dialog Box.](https://1515823925-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lga_i3Obkwb7iGSAwzP%2F-LhAYiZG9jn0tA8PY0qZ%2F-LhAZiMyjRwAu8siv32E%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=cd7c24cb-7e93-492d-9170-77f1ee17e64a)

This command creates slope grading from selected building pads, it is possible to define the angle and the number of iteration points by each segment.

**Max Distance Between Points:** Along the Pad Edges, this will be the maximum distance between each point. The less the distance, the more points will be created.

**Max Slope Angle:** The maximum slope of the Grading. The more slope the more close the points will be from the pad.

**Multiple Pads:** If this option is checked, Onbox will continue to prompt for selecting more Pads until you hit Esc.

## Examples:

![Default Options: Max distance (1) Max Slope (45)](https://1515823925-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lga_i3Obkwb7iGSAwzP%2F-LhAYiZG9jn0tA8PY0qZ%2F-LhAa9Xzk5aobzw_RORF%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=616c2ddc-2155-43ac-9190-4ff37d259a59)

![Max distance (0.5) Max Slope (60)](https://1515823925-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-Lga_i3Obkwb7iGSAwzP%2F-LhAYiZG9jn0tA8PY0qZ%2F-LhAaZfwbrT8V9coj0ef%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=940a980a-90f1-4551-8dd8-ae1514fde403)

{% hint style="info" %}
You can create quite complex surface using this tool. in this example we have utilised it to create the grading for road design and the building Levels
