VegetatedFilterStrip

Attachment

The attachment point is at the inside edge of the Vegetated Filter Strip. This component can be attached to either the left or right side.

Input Parameters

Note: Note: All dimensions are in metres 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
VFS Width	May be used to override the vegetated filter strip offset value and tie the edge to an offset alignment. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the width: alignments, polylines, feature lines or survey figures.	Optional
VFS Level	May be used to override the vegetated filter strip and tie the level to the level of a profile. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying the level: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines or survey figures.	Optional

Runtime Logical Assignments

None.

Output Parameters

None.

Behavior

Starting at the attachment point, a finish gradient surface and parallel subgrade are inserted using the given width and depth. Vertical links close the shape at either end of the vegetated filter strip. An optional benching is built at the far end of the vegetated filter strip. An optional French drain is constructed at the end of the vegetated filter strip.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly displays all links using the input parameters.
