Plotting multiple HECRAS output runs

[jstock]

When using rivercad XP, "define floodplain data, analyzed profiles" entry, I would like the software to handle multiple runs. Maybe it does already.

For example, after I paste the HECRAS table data into the data entry and generate the results; can the software remember that specific inundation limits (eg 100 yr flow)? Thereafter, I wish to add a 500 yr flow data to compare the flood inundation limits, but the software erases the older data. I noticed there is a box to check erase. Should the box be left unchecked to maintain data from both the 100 yr and 500 yr runs?

Is the box to check a recent addition to rivercad XP, since I do not recall seeing this feature previously?

If you are running HEC-RAS within RiverCAD, it will allow you to already plot multiple profiles on the topo map. In the Output | Floodplain Map Results dialog, you can check which profiles you want to plot output for.

If you are bringing in output from outside of RiverCAD and usiikng the Floodplain Mapping Module, then you need to "uncheck" the Erase Previous Results checkbox and the software should retain the previous floodplain map results. If it is not, then please let me know and I will have our developers look into this issue.

Alternatively, you can take the plotted output from RiverCAD and change the layer it resides on and then it should not erase the data.

I was importing and just using an outside HECRAS model. Thanks for clarifying.

What version of HECRAS is now in rivercad?
