What this mode is for

Leveling grades a flat pad to a single fixed target elevation. There is no slope, no design, no survey. You enter one number — the target elevation — and the blade holds that elevation everywhere. Use Leveling for:

  • Building pads (machine sheds, shop floors, equipment yards).
  • Equipment storage areas.
  • Any flat surface that has to be at a specific elevation (not just locally flat).

This is the simplest mode in the app. The other modes have designs and chevrons; Leveling has a single target line.

Workflow at a glance:

  1. Tap the Leveling card and connect in the wizard (auto-detect Connect, Simulate, Bluetooth GPS, or Manual Options).
  2. The Grade screen opens directly in Leveling mode with an input bar across the bottom of the map.
  3. Set the target in the bar: type it and tap the green Set Target, or tap the blue Use Current (current GPS elevation with the BM offset applied), or type a depth in Depth Below Bucket and tap the orange Dig This Deep.
  4. Tap Start in the sidebar.
  5. Drive the pad area, raising and lowering as the chevrons direct.

Leveling — set the target elevation in the input bar at the bottom of the map.
