Exercise 1: Configuring A Style For Watershed Display - Autodesk CIVIL3D - CIVILDESIGNCOMP 2007 SLM CD Tutorials Manual

You use watershed analysis, which is one of several types of analysis that you
can perform on a surface, to visualize and analyze the surface watersheds. You
use water drop analysis, which is a separate utility, to trace the path that water
would take across a surface. This tutorial includes the following general steps:
Configuring the watershed display and legend settings.
Configuring and creating a watershed analysis.
Inserting the watershed legend table.
Extracting objects from a surface.
Configuring and creating a water drop analysis.
Creating a catchment area.
AutoCAD Civil 3D uses the surface TIN lines to calculate the areas that water
would flow along the surface. From these areas, the drain targets and
watersheds are determined.
Other types of surface analysis include slope, aspect, elevations, and contours.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topics Watersheds and
Analyzing Surfaces.

Exercise 1: Configuring a Style for Watershed Display

In this exercise, you will configure a style for watershed display.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Surface Styles and
Visualization.
