Layout View

The layout view is adjacent (right) of the TreeView.  It is an area where nodes and their connecting reaches can be placed.  The view is purely schematic, meaning the distance between nodes is not related to the lenght of the connecting reach.  To activate the layout view, click on the  button in the toolbar.

Different symbols are used to give a visual cue of the objects type.  Reaches of different types are color and line coded to assist in visually determining the reach type.  All nodes and their connecting reaches can be easily reposition by simply clicking and dragging the node.

Labels for nodes and reaches can be turned on and off.  The type of label can easily be selected. 

Double clicking on a node or reach will bring up their respective dialog box for quick editing.

Clickin on the button in the toolbar will present the Route instructiorns dialog box.

Using the Compute menu selection, the user can analyze the entire layout for all design events that are defined.  The program automatically computes all flows through each reach, then computes the HGL elevation at each node going back up the layout network.  Users can specify starting tailwater conditions at the outlet reach.

To obtain a report, for a particular layout, right mouse click on the layout name in the tree view and select ToHistory. A report will automatically be generated and placed into the Current Activity View. The Current Activity View is made active by clicking on the button in the toolbar. The report contains all data elements associated with the layout and all hydrograph data generated by the computation.  It is completely self contained.
