Catchment Style

THE Catchment Style controls the appearance of the Catchments

To edit/create catchment styles, use the command SCATCHMENTSTYLES:

Note that it is very similar to device styles.

A catchment style has the following properties:

• Identification
  • Name - name of the style
    Avoid names that are too long, or that contain the following characters: '*', '>', '<', '/', '\', '"', ':', ';', '|', '=', '`', '#', ',', '?'
  • Description - description of the style
• Hatching
  • Hatch Pattern - name of the hatch pattern to use for the catchment
  • Scale - scale to apply to the hatch
  • Rotation - rotation to apply to the hatch
• Vertices
  • Block Name - name of the blocks inserted in the polyline vertices of the area
  • Block Scale - block insertion scale at area polyline vertices
  • Block Rotation - rotation applied to blocks at area polyline vertices
• Default Values
  • Layer - name of the layer where the Catchment will be inserted in the Model Space

In addition, the style has components that control each item in the Catchment:

• Talweg - controls the appearance of the line representing the thalweg
• Area - controls the appearance of the outer contour of the Catchment
• Leader - controls the appearance of the leader line that connects the Catchment centroid with the device
• Hatch - controls the appearance of the Catchment hatch
• Vertices - controls the appearance of the block inserted at the polyline vertices of the area
