MultipleBench

The MultipleBench_Depth subassembly creates cut or fill catch slopes with benches with varying bench slopes, swale widths, and swale depths.

You can define a swale width and depth at the benches. 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

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.

At each bench the entered input values are used to determine slopes and depths. After four benches the Daylight Slope Cut or Daylight Slope Fill is used to daylight and no more benches are added.

Layout Mode Operation

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