To create regions, press the ‘Regions’ button (regions are not available in drain related functions).The ‘Regions’ tool is used to split a field into multiple workable areas. Different design options can be applied to multiple different regions. For example, y...

One of the many unique features of the T3RRA product suite is our inclusion of a rainfall simulation tool. This allows a very visual and easily relatable analysis of how a field surface affects water runoff and ponding.   It should first be used after a ...

Press the 'i' button to view earthwork details.Note: pressing within the ‘Info’ text box will expand the view to full screen.Each region will have its own set of  earthworks details and cut/fill summary.Press the 'Records' button (shown as a printer) to save d...

In some tools that require a value to be input a calculator will be available.The purpose of the calculator is to take some of the stress away from creating field and drain designs.In addition to being able to calculate, the calculator comes with a function to...

 Best-fit  'Best-fit' creates a plane of best fit for the field or region. The best-fit calculation produces the slope and direction required to achieve a single plane, while minimizing the amount of dirt moved.Multi-fit 'Multi-fit' builds multiple smaller pla...

AB Profile Tool - In the Design step of T3RRA Cutta Desktop, the AB Profile Tool allows the user to draw an AB line anywhere on the surface and view the side profile of the elevation between the two nodes. Access the tool using the icon above in the bottom lef...

'Best-fit' creates a plane of best fit for the field or region. The best-fit calculation produces the slope and direction required to achieve a single plane, while minimizing the amount of dirt moved.A Best-fit design provides a single plane that most accurate...

Select the 'Multi-fit' button to create an optimized non-linear surface with slopes between the entered minimum and maximum. Multi-fit balances the dirt down the field in the direction you specify. The balancing occurs within strips, and is great for working w...

Select the 'Smooth' button to create a more regular surface with fewer and more gradual ridges and dips. The smoothing strength can be adjusted to produce a stronger or lesser effect as needed.BeforeAfter

Regular smoothing applies an averaging filter to the surface of the field to remove bumps and dips.   The ‘Smoothing strength’ slide bar controls how smooth it is by increasing the radius that is used in calculations. The smaller the slider value, the less ...

'Directional smooth' is a check box just below regular smoothing. Directional smoothing causes the smoothing effect to be stronger in a particular direction and weaker in the perpendicular direction.Enter the primary smoothing direction in the provided text bo...

Region blending allows you to “feather” the edges of regions to allow for smooth transitions between regions.'Max Allowable slope' lets you set the maximum steepness that can be used to achieve a region blend.'Distance from Region line' limits how far into eac...

Select the 'Offset' button to raise or lower the surface height of a field or region.  This can help with: Importing and exporting dirt Addition or removal of topsoil Raising pads You can either: manually enter the desir...

 You can use Auto-Drains to automatically generate drain paths for wet areas in your field. It will calculate optimal ditch lines to drain depressions. There are two tab pages present in Auto-Drains:‘Create’ controls the parameters that must be met before drai...

‘Line smoothing strength’ adjusts how many sharp turns and how smoothly the drain lines flow. The further to the right the slider is the more round the lines will be (with decreased sharp turns).‘Surface smooth strength’ adjusts the surface by applying an aver...

The ‘Existing Drains’ list will show all drains in the current project.Tapping on any of the drains in the list will select or unselect it. Multiple drains can be selected.Pressing the ‘Delete’ button while drains are selected will delete all of the selected d...

This design tool allows for simple design of many parallel drains at once. The pattern drain window allows you to select specific drains to delete.The 'Delete' and 'Clear All' buttons allow you to either delete selected drains or all pattern drains.'Drain leng...

Create manual drains on a full field elevation surface by placing the drain line along the desired drain path. Tap on a white node to create more purple nodes for nonlinear drain lines. The purple nodes have an elevation height value present in the Design para...
