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.
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.
