TrenchWithPipe

This subassembly creates a stone-filled drain structure with a circular pipe inside.

Attachment

The attachment point for this subassembly can be at the bottom center, the top center, or the top corner of the drain structure.

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.

Parameter Description Type Default
Side

Specifes to insert the subassembly either on the right or the left side of the attachment point.

Target Parameters

This section lists the parameters in this subassembly that can be mapped to one or more target objects, such as a surface, alignment, or profile object in a drawing. For more information, see To Specify Corridor Targets.

Parameter Description Status
Depth Depth of the trench can be optionally be overridden from a profile elevation. If the attachment point is on the top of the trench, then this profile is assigned for the trench bottom and vice-versa. The following object types can be used as targets for specifying this elevation: profiles, 3D polylines, feature lines, or survey figures. Optional

Output Parameters

Behavior

The subassembly builds the shape for a simple drain structure as shown in the above illustration.

Layout Mode Operation

In layout mode, this subassembly draws as it is defined using the input parameters, starting from the attachment point.
