Water Surfaces

When developing detention or water quality pond sections, it is often required to show water surfaces and label the water surface elevation. Often, this can be a manual process of drawing lines and text in the section drawing. Alternatively, a user can use the labeling tools to update the text more easily. This tool takes the automation one step further by aiding in the creation of the water surfaces as surface objects, by extracting a series of elevations and defining a surface for each of the elevations required. A style can be applied to the surfaces, along with an optional boundary, which can be used to limit how much of the contour to be used.
