Create an assembly that targets below existing surface

[tschomburg]

Hello,

I am trying to create an assembly for my infiltration basin that will grade the inside slope to a set height above or below my existing surface as-needed to maintain separation from groundwater. Is this possible to do through the stock-subassemblies, or with the subassembly composer? My current workaround is to just create a surface around the basin that is raised/lowered to use as the target to daylight to.

Hi @tschomburg 

Can you also attach a sketch?

Sure thing - This is what I'm thinking. The berm assembly would have the outer slope targeting the existing surface, where the berm is at a set elevation based on the profile for the berm's alignment. The inner slope would have a variable depth, based on an offset above or below the existing surface.

Could you combine the Corridor Transition tool with the linkSlopeToElevation target different elevations for different regions and transition between them?

Hi @tschomburg 

Its looks doable in SAC.

For example the user can choose yes/no and how much, will target above/below existing ground?

You may be able to do something with stock subassemblies but at the moment i can't think anything.

I will give a try and let you know

Hi @tschomburg 

For the left side of the baseline you can use generic slope to surface link.

For the right side take a look in the attached subassembly and let me know if it works.

It appears to be finnicky when selecting my daylight slope, and looks to create the corridor in model space, but it doesn't seem like the corridor is then able to create the surface afterwards. I can upload a test file over the weekend, I may just be putting it in incorrectly

Thank you,
