# Slope drains on the roadside for CUT and FILL area

In **MiTS 2**, we implement a new feature that a lot of road consultants will find to be useful-- ***slope drains that appear at the roadside for CUT and FILL area***. This is as per JKR requirement for road design.

Image below shows the typical R1 standard road cross-section from JKR.

# **The Steps**

1. **Add Cutside Drain. **Click on “**Road Width > Spread Input > Click the plus button and choose cut side drain**”.![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image60.png?resize=1080%2C548&ssl=1)![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image72.png?resize=1073%2C268&ssl=1)
2. **Change the dimension of the Cutside / Toe Drain**. Click on the **three-dots** to change the dimension of the cutside / toe drain and insert the dimension value in the editor box.![](https://i0.wp.com/mes100.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/image2.jpg?resize=724%2C523&ssl=1)
3. And you are done!

# **The Cross Section output**

The output will be reflected instantaneously on the Cross Section, as below:

Notice that the cutside drains will occur on the cut side, and toe drain will occur at the fill side.

All the cross-section, cut and fill volume report will be reflecting this configuration. Our cut and fill volume are always reflecting what you can see on the cross section!
