The Slope Identifier is a data download service designed to assist you in identifying slope gradients within a specified geospatial boundary. This service enables you to select a plan or create a frame to determine slope variations.
Different slope gradings are represented as polygons on your plan, categorised as follows: Note: Regions of minimal slope (<2 degrees) do not receive a category and are left blank on your plan.
Slope Category | Description |
Low | 2-3 degrees |
Moderate | 3-7 degrees |
High | 7-11 degrees |
Very High | >11 degrees |
