Rain and simulation time are related, and must be configured simultaneously. Changing the duration of the rain (or associated dry periods) automatically changes the simulation time, and vice-versa.
Editor → Current Situation (Ribbon tab) → Overlays (Ribbon bar) → The Water Overlay (Left panel) → Configuration Wizard (Right panel)
How to load in dynamic rain and simulation time:
- Prepare a CSV file with a sequence of times and rain amounts. (See example below.)
- Open the configuration wizard of the Water Overlay.
- Continue to the step concerning weathers.
- Select the weather event you wish to update, or select "Add" to create a new one.
- Set the "Rain over Time" setting to "Custom".
- Select "Import". This will open the "Import CSV" window.
- Select "Import new CSV", and open your file.
- Answer the prompts regarding the format of your file.
- Verify that the data has been loaded in as expected. Take special note of the time format.
- Close the "Import CSV" window.
- Verify that the total simulation time and the total rainfall match your expectations.
- Close the wizard.
