The drainage module has a number of tools to edit feature objects. The dialogs can be reached by double-clicking on feature object or by selecting the feature object then selecting Attributes from the Feature Objects Menu.

Feature Arc Type

Drainage Feature Arc Type dialog

This dialog is accessed by selecting a feature arc. The type of arc can be selected from this dialog. Available types are:

  • Generic – Have no attributes and are used when developing drainage boundaries or when establishing the boundary polygon for creating a TIN from feature objects.
  • Stream – Used to define stream reaches hydrologic models.
  • Pipe
  • Lake – Used to trace around the boundary of a lake.
  • Ridge – Used when creating a TIN from feature objects and are used to designate any other (besides boundary, stream, and lake) linear segment to be enforced as a breakline in the resulting TIN.

Selecting the Stream option makes the Edit Attributes button active. Clicking on this button will bring up the Edit Stream Arc Attributes dialog.

  • Drainage outlet – Directly linked to the hydrologic modeling tree.
  • Route point

When the Route point type is selected the Edit Attributes button becomes available. Clicking on this button will open the Edit Drainage Point Attributes dialog.
