Stage Storage Dialog Box

Use this dialog box to calculate incremental and cumulative volumes of a basin from a surface, using either a surface or polylines to define the basin.

Note: The units are based on the Drawing Units specified on the Units And Zone tab of the Drawing Settings dialog box.

Stage Storage Table Details

The following three values are displayed at the top of the stage storage report that is output.

Report Title

Specifies a title for the report.

Project Name

Specifies a name for the project.

Basin Description

Specifies a description of the basin.

Volume Calculation Method

Average End Area

Specifies that the Average End Area method is used, which calculates the volume between two cross sections.

For more information about the volume calculation methods, see About Stage Storage Volume Calculation Methods.

Conic Approximation

Specifies that the Conic Approximation method is used, which calculates the volume between two sectional areas.

Both

Specifies that both volume calculation methods are used.

Basin Definition Options

Define Basin From Entity

Enables you to define the basin using either contours or polylines. After you select this option, click Define Basin to proceed with the entity selection.

Use Manual Contour Data Entry

Enables you to define the basin by manually entering contours data. After you select this option, click Define Basin to proceed with the contour definition.

Define Basin

Displays either the Define Basin From Entities dialog box, or the Define Basin From Entered Data dialog box, depending on which of the two above options you selected.

Stage Storage Volume Table

Displays the incremental and cumulative volumes of the basin that you define and provides options for saving the data and loading previously-saved data.

Load Table

Loads volume data from a table that was saved with the Save Table option.

Save Table

Saves the current volume data to a file so you can open it again later with the Load Table option.

Create Report

Outputs the volume data as a report in TXT format.

Insert

Inserts the volume data as a table in the drawing.

Open Export Folder

Opens the folder in which the table or report is saved.
