Quick start
Terracing chapter of the Ditch Assist app manual. The same text is in the app under Manual.
In the app Manual › Terracing › Quick start
- Tap the Terracing card on the Home screen.
- The wizard appears. Choose New Survey to record both surveys, Load Surveys to pick saved channel and berm surveys, Load Saved Design to implement a finished design, or Resume Job to continue a saved terrace job.
- If new: drive the channel centerline, Start, drive end-to-end, Stop, save.
- The wizard prompts for the berm. Drive to the planned berm centerline, Start, drive end-to-end, Stop, save.
- The Terrace Design dialog opens at Channel Design. Adjust Channel Grade, Depth Offset, Channel Base Width, Side Slope.
- Tap Berm Analysis to advance. The dialog re-stations the berm survey onto the channel centerline and shows fill needs vs cut available. The volume strip displays current cut vs compaction-adjusted fill.
- If the cut is short, tap Auto-Balance — the dialog deepens the channel offset until the cut volume meets the compaction-adjusted fill volume. Or adjust by hand.
- Tap Review & Implement. The Implement step is a Ready to Grade summary — surveys used, total distance, channel grade, berm height, and the cut/fill/balance rows. There is no channel-first / berm-first choice: grading always starts on the Channel, and you switch halves with the sidebar Channel/Berm toggle.
- Tap Implement Slope. Calibrate BM if prompted.
- Grade the channel, then use the Channel / Berm toggle in the Grade screen to switch to the berm.
