One of the nifty tools in 2009 is the catchment area. It is the opposite of the rain drop feature. It saves time especially when trying to figure drainage areas. I use the 2D option, so I can get an area. I haven’t played with the 3D option, as I think it would give erroneous areas since it basically drapes itself over the surface and follows every hill and valley.
THEN – I can convert this into a parcel and get a nice area label for my Drainage Area mapping.
Nifty, eh?
In order to avoid conflicts with our normal CivilAccess classes, we moved EECasts to Mondays a few weeks back. They are on Mondays for the forseeable future. Some of you who have subscribed via e-mail to the blog do not get notice until Tuesday when we post things on Monday morning. So, today, you walked into an e-mail saying, “EECast Today!” but it wasn’t, it was yesterday. The e-mail subscription is beyond our control. If you find that the day delay is a problem, I’d suggest subscribing to the feed directly, via Outlook, Google Reader, or any number of other RSS readers.
Thanks for being part of the Civil3d.com community, and we’ll be posting the link for next week’s cast later today!
