Channel Assembly with varying depth??

[sonnyamorales]

I see that the channel assemblies have a parameter for Depth, is there a way to have that "vary"?

 

I am designing a channel that has a set starting elevation (bottom of channel) than slopes down at .1% a certain number of feet, so my depth is going to vary depending on the elevation of the existing grade and I am having trouble figure out how to design this and also how to daylight it so it just runs up a 3:1 slope until it runs into the existing grade. Make sense?

 

Thanks in advance

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the situation, but wouldn't your alignment follow the bottom of the channel? So you'd give the alignment a vertical component and attach the assembly to it.

Im probably just misunderstanding how to design in civil 3D (im new to it). My alignment does follow the bottom of the channel, but I haven't set up any vertical component for it. right now its just a basic alignment. time to read up on adding a vertical component to an alignment. any advice?

might give you a bit of an overview as to what you will want to do.

Your vertical component will be a longitudinal grade of 0.1%.
