Automated Centerline Cut

[woeit]

I drew in a polyline representing the centerline/flowline of the existing wash and also polyline for the left and right overbank. RiverCAD XP did generates a bunch of x-section as I specified on the screen, however, when I look at the Cross Section Description window, non of the length information was entered automatically as I thought it would. So, is that something I need to input into the model manually?

Just to give you an overall idea what I'm trying to model here. I've an existing wash approximately 3700 feet long with surface and all those stuff built. All I need is how high and wide will the water surface be with a certain flow quantity in the existing geometry. So if the Automated Centerline Cut thing works like I thought, this model will be fairly simple.

Also I would like to know where I can download a copy of the RiverCAD XP user manual, because I think the one I'm looking at right now is a RiverCAD 2000 copy. Thanks you for all your help.

Hi,

Hard to tell without seeing your drawing file. The RiverCAD XP works fine for 'Automated Centerline Cut' command at our end.

Please send me the file to look at.

Note that it is important that the flow length lines and bank lines that you draw are within the limits of the cross section width that you have defined.

However, if you are having difficulty, please feel free to contact me and I can look at your model to see where the difficulty is.
