Stream Tools
Win64, EnglishGeneral Usage Instructions
The user develops a stream alignment following a tangent-curve-tangent pattern and a bankfull profile then uses CREATESTREAMBREAKLINES to open the user interface.
The user interface allows the user to define the riffle, pool, and glide (optional) cross-sections along with the positions of key targets along the alignment. When the user clicks the Finish button the program will output 3Dpolylines representing the breaklines within the bankfull channel surface.

Stream Tools first update includes fixes for profile proration error and project points to 3D polyline error that occurred with the first point did not land on the alignment. The reference method was adjusted to define the riffle depth at the middle of the tangent section. Added the option to define riffle drop through cross-sections and bankfull line rather than defining the pool drop (this value is typically 0) for use in steeper systems where structures are being used for grade control. |
