When a flow path is initially created, it is created with the number of flow segments defined in the Catchment Settings. The Create Flow Segments command enables you to divide a flow path into more segments.
A flow path can have up to three flow segments of each flow type. Although the catchment and flow path do not update dynamically based on a surface, you can use the Flow Path Vista to change the surface used to calculate the flow path slope.
- If you have not done so already, create a catchment from a surface or from an object.
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Catchments collection
<catchment group> <catchment name>. - Right-click Flow Path Create Flow Segments.
- Select the flow segment start point in the drawing. This must be a point on the existing flow path for the catchment. After the point is selected, a row is added to the Flow Path vista.
- Use the Flow Segments vista to specify the data for the flow path segment.
