The fall line is the line of greatest slope. The
fall line is a curve following the steepest
slope. It is always orthogonal to the contour
lines. The gradient of the height determines
the fall line mathematically.
Select a

plane
besides the
origin point
Option but-
ton
The origin point and another point on the
reference plane define the orientation.
