Abstract
A system and method are provided for automatically implementing a commanded change in elevation of a ground profile being created by a work vehicle such as a dozer using a slope control system of the work vehicle. A controller calculates an adjusted target value of a mainfall slope and an adjustment distance sufficient to achieve the desired change in elevation and then controls the mainfall slope of the work vehicle to the adjusted target value as the work vehicle advances by the adjustment distance. Then the mainfall slope is automatically returned to its original value.
