Drain valleys, the valleys that connect two drains, can be edited and deleted using context menu commands that are available when the Slab Drainage tool is selected.
Editing drain valley saddles
Drain valleys can be given saddles, which are small slab slopes over the valley that direct the water to one of the two connected drains. Both simple saddles and split saddles are available, and their slopes and angles can be set by the user.
To edit drain valley saddles:
Select the slab object.
Click the tool and mode.
Right-click on one or more drain valleys and select Edit Connection(s) from the context menu.
The Connection Settings dialog box opens.
Edit the properties.
Alternatively, to create a simple saddle or remove an existing saddle on a drain valley, right-click on one or more drain valleys and select Create Saddle or Remove Saddle from the context menu. If multiple drain valleys are selected, and some have existing saddles and some do not, the appropriate context menu command appears for the last valley selected. To edit the properties of a simple saddle, select Edit Connection(s) from the context menu.
