VtOffset Vertical offset from the component attachment point (CL) to the start of the horizontal offset measurement.  
HzOffset Horizontal offset. If wall to be at rd edge, rd subgrade width. Super and widening applied.  
FaceHt Height of facing element.  
FaceWidth Width of facing element.  
FaceOffset Horizontal setback of each face unit from front of previous.  
bFixedToe 1 forces toe to be set at elevation (ToeOfWallElevOrDat), 0 toe elevation is a function of topo, elevation.  
ToeOfWallElevOrDat Elevation of the wall toe (bFixedToe=1) or elevation to set datum of longitudinal steps.  
LvlCrsOutOffs Leveling course outside offset.  
LvlCrsInOffs Leveling course inside offset.  
LevelingCourseHt Depth of leveling course material.  
LevelingCourseCut Cut slope of leveling course material.  
CriticalBFillSlp Slope that delineates critical backfill material and tie back length.  
CritBackFillBtmWdt Width of critical backfill material at bottom of wall. This also delineates tie back length.  
MinWallEmbedment If not a fixed toe, minimum depth of wall below stripped topo.  
TieBackVtSpacing Vertical spacing for primary tie back layers  
MinTieBckCover (advanced) Minimum critical backfill cover over top tieback.
