Dam

The Dam subassembly inserts links to create a representation of a dam. A progress profile is present to adjust the dam geometry to reflect the progress.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the center of the dam.

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

Dam Daylight Surface Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces. Required
Progress Profile May be used to show progress of the dam based on the elevation of the elevation target. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

The initial point is set at the attachment point. The outside daylight links are built. The interior structure of the dam is built based on the input parameters. The bottom surface of the dam is based on the Dam Daylight Surface.

If the progress profile is present then shapes are calculated based on the progress elevation. The elevation is applied as a level surface.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays the dam based on the input parameters given with a height of 20 ft (6 m).

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.
