ValleyGutterSimple

The ValleyGutterSimple subassembly is a concrete valley gutter with user defined widths, concrete depths, and flow line depth. The width can be modified and the flowline stays at the center.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the valley gutter.

Input Parameters

Note: All dimensions are in meters or feet unless otherwise noted. All slopes are in run-over-rise form (for example, 4 : 1) unless indicated as a percent slope with a “%” sign.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter

Description

Status

Target Offset

May be used to override the fixed Width and tie the edge-of-shape to an offset aligning. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this offset: alignments, polylines, features lines, or survey figures. Optional

Flowline Elevation

May be used to override the flowline depth and tie the flowline elevation to the elevation of a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

This subassembly will insert a simple valley gutter. The location of the width of the subassembly can be specified with a fixed width, or with an optional alignment. The valley gutter can be specified with a fixed depth, or a profile can be assigned to control the depth.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode the subassembly displays the links comprising the valley gutter with the user input values.

Point, Link, and Shape Codes

The following table lists the point, link, and shape codes for this subassembly that have codes assigned to them. Point, link, or shape codes for this subassembly that do not have codes assigned are not included in this table.
