Analyzing Stage Storage Volumes

Use the Stage Storage Tool in AutoCAD Civil 3D 2013 to analyze the stage storage volumes of basins.

Determine the boundaries for a basin to be analyzed		Before you analyze a basin, use either surface objects or polylines to create the basin boundaries.
Edit display settings for contours		Before you can calculate basin volumes, you must ensure the contours are displayed in the surface style.
Set up a Stage Storage Volume report		In the Stage Storage Volume Analysis dialog box, enter the administrative and calculation information for the Stage Storage Volume analysis.
Define the basin		Define the basin by selecting surface objects or polylines in the drawing, or by manually entering surface object parameters for the basin.
Save and display the Stage Storage Volume Table		Save the Stage Storage Volume Table, and display it in the drawing.
Save and display the Stage Storage Volume report		When you save the Stage Storage Volume report, the report opens in your default text file viewer.
