Watersheds Tab (Surface Style Dialog Box)

Use this tab to control the display of watersheds.

3D Geometry

Watershed Display Mode

Specifies the watersheds display properties:

  • Use Surface Elevation: Displays the watersheds at their actual elevation values.
  • Flatten Elevations: Flattens or projects the watersheds to the elevation value specified by the Flatten Watersheds To Elevation property.
  • Exaggerate Elevation: Scales the watersheds by the factor specified in the Exaggerate Watersheds By Scale Factor property.
Flatten Watersheds To Elevation

Specifies the elevation used to flatten the watersheds; available only when you set the Watershed Display Mode to Flatten Elevations.

Exaggerate Watersheds By Scale Factor

Specifies the scale factor used to exaggerate the watersheds; available only when you set the Watershed Display Mode to Exaggerate Elevation.

Point Size

Specifies the size and scaling method of the drain target points.

Watershed Scaling Method

Specifies the scaling method, which, in combination with the Watershed Units value, determines the point symbol size:

  • Use Drawing Scale: Specifies that the point size is a product of the value specified in the Watershed Units property and the drawing scale. For example, with a 1”=40’ drawing scale, using a Watershed Units value of 0.1 is the equivalent of using Size In Absolute Units with a value of 4’.
  • Size Relative To Screen: Specifies that the point symbol size is a percentage of the screen size. The percentage value is specified by the Watershed Units property.
  • Size In Absolute Units: The value specified in the Watershed Units property is the absolute point symbol size.
Watershed Units

Specifies the value for the point size.

Surface

Surface Watershed Label Style

Specifies the default watershed label style. Click to select a style.

Legend

Watershed Legend Style

Boundary Point, Boundary Segment, Depression, Flat Area, Multi-drain, Multi-drain Notch

The above watershed categories have the following common properties.

Color

Specifies the color of the watershed. Click to select the color.

Linetype

Specifies a linetype for the watershed. Click to select a linetype.

Use Hatching

Specifies whether or not to use a hatch pattern for the watershed.

Hatch Pattern

Specifies the hatch pattern to use for the watershed; available only when you set the Use Hatching parameter mode to True. Click to open the Hatch Properties dialog box where you can select a hatch pattern.

Draw Drain Target Point

Specifies whether or not to display drain target points for the watershed.

Note: For depression watersheds, this setting controls if the bottom points of the depression are displayed.
Drain Target Point Display

Specifies the symbology of the drain target point display. Click to select a drain target point symbol.

Drain Target Point Color

Specifies the color of the drain target point. Click to select a drain target point color.

Draw Drain Target Segment

Specifies whether or not to display drain target segments for the watershed.

Note: For depression watersheds, this setting controls if the segments between the bottom points of the depression are displayed.
Drain Target Segment Color

Specifies the color of the drain target segment. Click to select a drain target segment color.

Drain Target Segment Linetype

Specifies a linetype for the drain target segment. Click to select a linetype.
