daylighting or linkslopetodurface subassembly.?.?

[sonnyamorales]

Ok so thanks to the help of others on here I have gotten a bit better at creating my assemblies for the channel I need to design.

 

 

I m still having some issues understanding things though.

 

 

1. Still not sure how the "depth" parameter in the channel assembly really works?? my channel just needs to have a bottom elevation, a bottom width, and a side slope. and run that slope till it hits my EG.

 

 

2. should I be using a daylighting subassembly or the "linkslopetosurface" one? I used the link one and it looks like it might do what I want but when I went to create a surface from it, it only created a surface of the Channel subassembly. make sense?

 

 

here are a few pics of what I have

 

If im not being clear please let me know so i can try to describe my issue better

am I using the right subassembly at least??

The difference between those two subassemblies are the codes that it uses.

 

You can keep what you have done already and add the Links to your Corridor Surface.

OR

You can use the Daylight Subassembly and just use Top.

 

The Depth parameter tell the assembly how deep the channel is. Look at your assembly, that "target" is what follows the profile. The depth parameter will lower the bottom of the channel that far.

 

 

If I remember your previous post about varying depths, look into regions. Corridors can be split up and you can asign different Assemblies for different regions.

Thanks for the response.

 

So for the Depth portion, I have a proposed profile that starts at Sta 10+00 at a set elevation and runs at a .1% slope to the end of the channel. So the bottom of my channel is set within that profile already, so would I just set my "depth" at 0 to have the assembly run along the bottom of my channel? make sense?

 

The width of the channel varies and the side slope will change at some points. That is why I am showing 3 assemblies.

 

first one is a 20' wide channel with side slopes of 3:1 till EG

 

second one would be a 24' wide channel with side slopes of 3:1 for about 5' than a 2:1 to EG

 

Last one is the a 20' wide channel with the slopes the same as above, though only the right changes slopes.

 

Im confusing my self even more the more I look at it, seems like I missing something or have something wrong
