Conclusion  Surface is an analysis and design tool that assists with the optimal placement of tile and surface drains  Combine 3D views and water flow analysis tools to decide where surface ditches or subsurface tile lines should be installed to optimally drain the field, and ultimately increase crop yields AGRICULTURAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

Conclusion  Drainage lines drawn on the screen then produce a vertical profile of the existing surface along any line  Exporting these designs back to the FmX integrated display lets you use the Autoslope feature of the FieldLevel II system to design the vertical component of your surface or sub-surface designs by defining slope and depth constraints.
