The Radius Increment is NOT APPLICABLE when using the Focus Point option, since only ONE circle, passing through the Focus Point, is generated for each grid slip center.

TIP: If you want to force all slip circles to pass through the toe of a slope, then use the Focus Point option to add a Focus Point at the toe of the slope.
