Correct the 'Thematic Slopes Display Style' to provide a single colour per triangle when displaying terrain triangle slopes.

Some of the older designers will recall the display "Colour-Coded Slopes" within InRoads, where DTM triangles could be shaded a single colour based on their resultant grade. As per the laws of geometry, one triangle could only be assigned one colour. This tool was particularly helpful when checking models for compliance to grades, be it for earthworks batters, or footpath grades for wheelchair access in public precincts.

The latest iteration of the tool in ORD "Thematic Slopes" allows a single triangle to be assigned multiple colours, which is mathematically incorrect. Refer attached screenshots. The 'Accurate' setting has been used for the 'Stepped Display' mode.

Can we have an option that returns a single colour per triangle based on a Terrains triangles resultant grade?
