# How to let Slope “In” following Cut and Fill layers in MiTS?

In MiTS, users can have the platform set as *SlopeIn*, in which the slope generation will be from the platforms' edges towards the inside of the platform areas as in the image below.

Users may refer to the article -*[**Guide on Slope "In" & "Out"**](https://mes100.com/docs/guide-on-slope-in-out/)*- on how to set the slope direction for the platforms designed.

For *SlopeIn*, the hatching will always be represented in the default orange color, set under a separate layer named 'E - SlopeIn'. From the image, we will not be able to differentiate the cut and fill for the particular platform.

# **So, how do we set Slope 'In' to show the cut and fill layers?**

In MiTS, the *SlopeIn* representation as a different layer depends on a setting under the Parameters, called '**Use Own Layer for Slope In**'. By default, this option will be set to YES.

Hence, to show the cut and fill;

*Go to Options tab* > *Project Settings/Project Parameters* > *Earthworks* > *Click on Detailing* > *Use Own Layer for Slope In* > *Change the option from YES to NO* > *OK* > *Regenerate Slope*

*The SlopeIn is now represented*by cut and fill slopes
