MultipleBenchWithPipes

The MultipleBenchWithPipes subassembly creates cut or fill catch slopes with repeating benches as needed.

You can define swale widths at the benches. Pipes are added at each bench. The last daylight slope to the target surface may be different than the bench slope.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the initial cut or fill slope. This component can be attached to either the left or right side.

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

Daylight Surface Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces. Required
Pipe1 Offset May be used to override the Pipe1 Offset and tie the Pipe1 to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Pipe1 Elevation May be used to override the Pipe1 Elevation. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Pipe2 Offset May be used to override the Pipe2 Offset and tie the Pipe2 to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Pipe2 Elevation May be used to override the Pipe2 Elevation. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Pipe3 Offset May be used to override the Pipe3 Offset and tie the Pipe3 to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the offset: alignments, polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional
Pipe3 Elevation May be used to override the Pipe3 Elevation. 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

The initial hinge point is set at the attachment point. The hinge point elevation is checked against the target surface to determine if the section is in the cut or fill condition. An intercept is calculated to the target surface using the given Daylight Slope. If the height to the intercept exceeds the Max Daylight Height, the link with the Bench Height is inserted, and the bench is added. The hinge point is reset to the outside edge of the bench and the process is repeated until a daylight link is found that does not exceed the Max Daylight Height. Each bench, up to four, uses the input parameters for each bench depth and width.

At each bench a pipe is inserted at a distance specified in the input parameters or overridden using targets for offset and elevation. A pipe size of 0 omits the pipe.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws the initial fill slope to 5 units.
