In Kubla Cubed 2021 (due at the end of June 2021), this setup will be improved. The strip will have a setting called :
Depths From
Which will have three options 'Ground', 'PreviousElement' and 'Specified Element'. The default will be ground so strips will in fact overwrite each other like the absolute elements which is more useful in a lot of scenarios. 'Previous Element' (the behaviour in Kubla Cubed 2015, 2016, 2017, 2019) is there for backward compatibility reasons and some custom scenarios that it may be useful for.
'Specified Element' will be the new recommended method for doing the 'strip method' subgrade adjustment. First you will do your FFL levels and then set the 'Depths From' to be from that element so it will allow the strips to replace each other where they intersect and act and still act on the lower down element. A big improvement I think in both workflows.
The
Strip element will be renamed to
Reduce as it makes more sense considering it is used for a lot of scenarios that are not topsoil stripping. The subgrade adjustment
'Strip Method' will be now called
'Reduce Method'.
