The Water Connection Generator enables users to generate underground buildings such as culverts using a set of parameters. This generator is useful in situations where a project misses a large number of these constructions. Generated constructions can be easily removed as well, to retry with different parameters. The parameters are explained below under Advanced Options.
Advanced Options
Mininimum and maximum length
Both the minimum and maximum length can be provided to limit the amount of created water constructions. The length is measured as the closest points between two water bodies.
Large road threshold
A road is considered large (and therefor impassable) when the road's size is larger than the threshold. This parameter can be used to prevent water connections crossing large roads. The large road threshold is provided as a surface size in m2.
Large road straight
Large road straight (m).
Maximum height difference
The height differences on the surface along the line of the water connection. This parameter can be used to detect dikes and prevent water connections under them. Additionally, this same parameter can be used to prevent connections being created for water ways that have water levels that are too far apart.
Width
The construction will have its width set to this value when placed. The width is provided in meters.
Ignore upstream
Sometimes multiple water connections can be created for the same water bodies. The parameter "ignore stream" can be used to remove connections of which its end point differ by more than the indicated amount. It is somewhat similar to the parameter Maximum height difference, but more restrictive in its application.
Include water bodies
When selected, both waterways and water bodies are taken into account as water terrains. When not selected, only waterways are taken into account.
Optional actions
- The Reset to defaults action reverts the values of the advanced options back to the default settings.
- The Remove generated action removes all generated constructions of the indicated function.
