Tips & gotchas

On RTK loss: the app auto-holds and lifts no commands. The blade stays at its last commanded height until you take manual control or RTK recovers. If you see "HOLD — No RTK Fix" for more than a few seconds, stop the machine and check the GPS antenna and base.

Designs do not enforce depth limits. Min Depth and Max Depth show red shading on the chart but they do not move the design line. If you want a hard depth cap, switch to Tiling mode (which does enforce a depth window).

Reverse outlet: if Slope-IQ's automatic detection is wrong (water actually drains the other direction), tap Outlet: Auto in the dialog header to flip it.

Best-Fit before Guided/Freeform. Always start in Best-Fit. Read the chart. If the auto design is wrong, then think about which control points you would have placed and switch to Guided. Freeform is for special cases where you know the design line by hand — most jobs do not need it.

Saving over a previous design. When you tap Implement and the design name already exists, the app appends "V2", "V3", etc. so the old version is preserved.

Skipping the survey. If you have a previously saved design from another job (different survey), use Load Design in the wizard. The terrain comes from the design file, the proposed line is already drawn, you go straight to grading.
