VegetatedSwale

The VegetatedSwale subassembly creates a vegetated swale to treat storm water.

Attachment

The attachment point is at the middle top of the vegetated swale.

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

Surface Target Name of the daylighting surface. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the surface: surfaces. Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

Starting at the attachment point, the swale is built using the input parameters. If the surface target is set, the daylight surface is found (only for cut situations). If include underdrain is set to Yes, then the underdrain is built.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, the vegetated swale is built.
