Displays the properties of a straight feature that is part of a trench run. You can edit properties that are not automatically determined by the software. The property name appears on the left side of the grid, and the corresponding property value appears on the right side of the grid.
Category
Specifies the properties category that you want to view. Select Standard or Weight & CG.
Standard Category
Parent System
Displays the trench run system to which the feature belongs. This property cannot be changed.
Name
Displays the name of the feature. The name is based on the Naming Rule selection. If you want to type a new name, select User Defined in the Naming Rule box.
Naming Rule
Specifies the naming rule that you want to use to automatically name the feature. To manually type your own name in the Name box, select User Defined.
Trench Type
Displays the type of trench. This property is inherited from the trench run and cannot be changed.
You cannot modify the trench type of a trench run after placement.
Minimum Bottom Slope
Displays the minimum slope required for the trench run, as defined in the catalog.
Start Invert Elevation
Displays the invert elevation at the starting point of the feature. Invert elevation is the elevation at the top of the bottom footing of the feature and is inherited from the trench run.
End Invert Elevation
Displays the invert elevation at the end point of the feature. Invert elevation is the elevation at the top of the bottom footing of the feature.
Bottom Slope
Displays the slope at the bottom of the feature. This property is inherited from the trench run and cannot be changed.
Top Slope
Displays the slope at the top of the feature. Type a negative value for a clockwise slope and a positive value for a counter-clockwise slope. The value of the top slope must not exceed 60 horizontal degrees. You can type a value only when the slope is not computed by the software. This property is read-only when Overwrite Feature Depths is True.
Trench Length
Displays the horizontal length of the trench feature.
Top Slope Length
Displays the length measured along the top slope; that is, along the line joining cardinal point 8.
Bottom Slope Length
Displays the length measured along the bottom slope; that is, along the line joining cardinal point 2.
Weight & CG Category
Dry Weight
Displays the total dry weight of the feature, not including liquid or routed systems that may run through the trench. This value is calculated by the software. The weight for the feature is volume ยด density. The volume is defined under the Volume category. The density is read from the catalog for the materials defined on the Cross-Section tab.
Wet Weight
Specifies the wet weight of the liquid or routed systems that may run through the trench.
Dry CGX
Specifies the X-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry CGY
Specifies the Y-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Dry CGZ
Specifies the Z-axis location of the dry center-of-gravity.
Wet CGX
Specifies the X-axis location of the wet center-of-gravity.
Wet CGY
Specifies the Y-axis location of the wet center-of-gravity.
Wet CGZ
Specifies the Z-axis location of the wet center-of-gravity.
