Using the Stage Storage command, you can calculate incremental and cumulative volumes of a basin.
The storage volume at each depth (stage) is calculated from the input and the cumulative volume is totaled.
To define the basin, you can use one of the following:
- An existing surface.
- Selected contours within an existing surface.
- Existing polylines in the drawing. These must be closed lwpolylines, such as created with the PLINE command.
- Contour elevation and area data that you enter into a dialog box.
To use either a surface or contours within a surface, contours must be visible.
Note:
The contours or polylines to be used with the Stage Storage command must be closed.
Note: The units are based on the Drawing Unit specified in the Units And Zone tab of the Drawing Settings dialog box.
