Edit Bench Pond

This command is used in conjunction with Design Bench Pond. It allows you to modify an existing pond design that has been generated with Design Bench Pond. The original design criteria of the pond can be modified and the routine will automatically re-calculate volumes, re-draw contours, disturbed limits, tin lines, etc. Possible modifications to the pond include cut/fill slopes, pond elevations, x-y position (the pond can moved to a new location), horizontal offset, a single pond vertex can moved to a new location, a new target surface can be specified, and finally, the pond and all of its elements can be deleted. Once the new design parameters are set, the routine will regenerate the pond based on the new parameters when the Process button is selected. The standard report viewer opens to display the new volume calculation and other design info.

Edit Bench Pond requires a target surface to project to, which is typically the surface designated as the Source of Slope Target Surface Model in the Design Bench Pond command.  In Design Bench Pond, when prompted to "Update Surface File" select Yes.

The Edit Bench Pond command starts with a prompt to pick a pond polyline which can be any of the side slope or perimeter polylines created by the Design Bench Pond command. Another way to start Edit Bench Pond is to double-click on one of the pond polylines.

When the command starts, a dialog is docked on the left side of the drawing window. This dialog allows you to edit the pond while still being able to run other commands.

Fill Out Slope: displays the original fill slope criteria, select to edit to a new value.

Cut Out Slope: displays the original cut slope criteria, select to edit to a new value.

Fill Interior Slope: displays the pond interior slope for fill condition, select to edit to a new value.

Cut Interior Slope: displays the pond interior slope for cut condition, select to edit to a new value.

Top Elevation: enter the top elevation of the pond.

Bottom Elevation: enter the bottom elevation of the pond.

Pond Earthworks: displays the cut/fill earthworks and storage volume calculated with the last use of either Design Bench Pond or Edit Bench Pond.

Surface:  Displays the target surface, pick Set button to change.

Move Pond: Pick to move the pond a new location on the site. The user is prompted at the command line to "Pick start point for translation" and then "Pick end point for translation". The pond is moved to the new location, with contours, tin lines, disturbed area and volumes regenerated on the fly.

Move Vertex:  Pick to move a vertex on the top of pond perimeter. The user is prompted to screen select the vertex to edit and place it in a new location.

Add Vertex: Pick the position for a new point to add into the pond perimeter.

Remove Vertex: Select a point on the pond perimeter to remove.

Offset: Pick to apply a horizontal offset of the top of pond perimeter polyline. Enter the amount of offset desired in the field and then specify whether it is to go in or out.

Rotate Pond:  Pick to rotate the pond.

Balance:  Pick to automatically adjust the pond elevation to balance the cut and fill volumes.

Delete: removes all of the pond design entities.

Set Storage: prompts for a target elevation and storage, and then resizes the pond to fit.

Stage-Storage: write a stage-storage .cap file for the current design.

Report:  Pick to generate a cut/fill volume and stage-storage report.

Process: proceeds with the re-design of the pond using the current criteria.
