Workflows

The Home screen has one big square (a card) for each kind of job. To start a job, tap its card. Each page below walks one job, one tap at a time, with a picture for every button.

Most surface jobs follow the same loop: survey the ground, design the target, grade to it, and pick the job up again another day. Surveying works the same in all of them, so start with Survey a route if you haven't surveyed with Ditch Assist before.

Surveying (all workflows)

• Survey a routeSTART SURVEY, drive the route, STOP, name and save it.
• Survey a run you can't drivePause round obstacles, take shots, check grade between two spots.
• Survey a whole fieldBenchmark, Start, drive the field, Finish & Save, resume or export.

Ditching

• DitchingConnect, survey, Slope-IQ design, calibrate if needed, grade.
• Slope-IQ designBestFit, Guided, Freeform, every card, outlet and fixed outlet depth.
• Grade the ditchStart, read the Depth Guide and chevrons, Hold, Stop, banners.
• Nudge and Auto-NudgeNudge Up / Down by hand, or let Auto-Nudge stage the passes.
• Edit design and resumeEdit Design, Start Fresh Job / Keep My Progress, Reset, Resume Job.

Simple Grading and Manual Grade

• Simple GradingSurvey and apply one grade, or Enter Grade Only like a laser.
• Manual GradeSet Grade bar, lock 0+00, Change Grade for more legs.

Land Forming

• Land FormingLoad a design, calibrate, grade the field with the cut/fill map.
• Import a designAGD, XYZP, XYZ, LandXML, point files and GeoTIFF: where and how.

Tiling

• TilingSurvey the route, design inside the depth window, install from the outlet.
• Tile DesignBestFit / Guided / Freeform, depth window, warnings, fixed outlet depth.
• Install the tileStart depth, the Start checks, paced descent, outlet check, Hold and Stop.
• Rock Hit DetectionPlow rode up? The target lifts with it. What you see and when to turn it off.
• Contour TilingField surface, contours, survey along one, then design and install.

Terracing

• TerracingChannel and berm: pick Simple Maintenance, Standard or Contour-Guided.
• Simple MaintenanceOne channel survey; the berm copies the channel design plus an offset.
• Standard TerracingChannel and berm surveys, BERM MIN HT, Auto-Balance, then grade both halves.
• Contour-Guided TerracingZone band on a contour, survey channel and berm inside it, then Standard design.

Leveling

• LevelingSet one target, grade the pad flat, change target, resume.

Levee & Contour

• Levee & ContourContours on the map, lightbar and arrows to follow one. Steering only.
• Get elevation dataSaved LiDAR DEM, GeoTIFF, point file, saved survey or drive the field.
• Generate contoursBoundary, interval, smoothing, Generate; edit the boundary later.
• Follow a contourLightbar and arrows, sensitivity, coverage, save and load jobs.
• AB-line passesSwath, Set A, Set B: straight passes with the lightbar, in Field Survey.

Excavation (DIG™)

• ExcavationDIG Kit or Ditch Assist Lite, six ways to start, how to read the dig screen.
• Connect to the DIG moduleMECU_Ditch_Dig Wi-Fi, Connect, failure banners, firmware updates.
• Dig to a set gradeGrade, direction, depth; START locks 0+00 at the bucket.
• Dig a level areaSet Target, Use Current or Dig This Deep: one flat target.
• Dig to a designSurvey or load, Slope-IQ design, then dig with the achieved line filling in.
• Dig to a LandXML designFG (and EG) surfaces, grid cell size, Apply, calibrate, dig anywhere on it.
• Completion gridTap cells green as you finish them; Clear Marks wipes them.

Organise your work

• Field Mode (beta)Tag work and benchmarks to fields; the app prompts the benchmark routine.
• Jobs, saving and resumingWhat saves itself, naming, Resume Job, and calibrating when you come back.
