Vertical offset for slopes in roads/Corridors

is there currently an option within the roads/corridors modules to apply a vetical offset to side slopes. In roads the hinge point is always from the design surface but in some cases it would be beneficial to have the slopes hinge from a sub grade height (if applied) or just apply a vertical offset at the edge of the template from which the slope will commence.

    Sorry, forgot to mention the example is using the corridor template editor.

    Hi Conor,
    Please have a look at the image I have attached. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. In the image the side slope uses the bottom of the subgrade as the hinge point. This was done using a template leg type of Offset/Rel. Elev and setting the rel elevation to -1 which in this case is the depth of the subgrade.

    Hi Barkley, Please see below screen shot as requested. By default side slopes are assigned to the edge of the road template when inserted, in this example, point code LV01. Is there anyway to set the start/hinge point of the side slope at a lower elevation than the design surface. In this example i have added a subgrade surface (green) and would like the side slopes to tie into the subgrade surface (green horizontal line) rather than the design surface.

    Hello Conor,
    Could you provide me with a graphic representation of what you are describing?
