Bench Heading

TIP – Using the Two Point Method is more accurate as it defines the direction of the bench heading.

One point method

You can access the Bench Heading screen via the Work Settings menu or the shortcut bar.

  1. Position the machine in the direction of the design mainfall.
  2. Tap the Bench Heading icon in the shortcut bar to bench the heading directly.

    The benched heading is set to the direction of the machine mainfall.

Alternatively:

  1. Touch and hold the Bench Heading icon in the shortcut bar to open the Bench Heading screen.
  2. Tap Bench.

Two point method

You can access the Bench Heading screen via the Work Settings menu or the shortcut bar.

  1. Position the machine in the direction of the design mainfall.
  2. Touch and hold the Bench Heading icon in the shortcut bar to open the Bench Heading screen.
  3. Toggle the Two‑Point Method on.
  4. Follow the wizard to select two points:
  5. Touch the bowl focus point on two points that are not too close together (there should be at least one meter between the two points). The mainfall runs parallel to the line between the two points and the cross slope is perpendicular to it.

    1 Mainfall 2 Cross slope
  6. Tap Bench.
