To add a cross-section, use the 'Add CrossSection (ZW)' tool and click anywhere on a branch. You can change the name and location (chainage) of a cross-section via the Properties window or its attribute table. In this way, a add one cross-section at the beginning of the branch and one at the end of the branch.
To define the cross-section definition, double click on the cross-section. Change the cross-section to resemble the compound channel. Use the following dimensions:
Parameter Value B1 50 B2 70 h1 3.5 To use the same cross-section multiple times, you will need to share the cross-section definition. Still in the cross-section view, click 'Share this definition'. If you define a new cross-section somewhere in the model, you can now use the shared cross-section.
Info The ZW profile is per definition symmetrical. Note that other types of cross-section exists as well, viz. 'YZ' and 'XYZ', that can be assymetrical as well. However, only ZW profiles can be used in combination with morphology. - To impose a slope, change the Level Shift. By imposing a Level Shift, the cross-section definition is uniformly lowered or heightened. Impose a slope of 0.15 m/km by setting the level shift of the upstream cross-section to '50' and the downstream cross-section to '-2.5'.
To see if your model is set-up like you want it, let's make a sideview. To do this, click on the 'Add route' tool in Ribbon/map/network. Next, click on the beginning of your network first, and then on the end of your network. A route will automatically be generated.
Info You can manage routes and change their names in the 'Region window'. By default, the region window is located in the same place as the Toolbox (right upper side). Click on the region tab to switch to the region window. Routes are locates under network. In the Ribbon ('Map' tab, 'Network coverage' group), select your route (We have renamed it to 'EntireModel') and click on the sideview icon to generate the sideview.
- The result should look like this:
