After drafting storm water network in StormCAD; is there tool able to split the project into catchments and assign those catchments to the nodes where it does drain into according to the topo? if yes; please elaborate using that tool. I am asking that due to the large project and minimize the time of drafting the catchments manually.
Thanks,

Mohammad, The best tool for associating manholes to catchments as their outflow element is currently ModelBuilder. I have updated the link that Sushma posted above with steps for how you can do this: communities.bentley.com/.../17529.is-there-any-automatic-method-for-input-tc-or-assign-the-outflow-element-to-the-catchment-area-to-save-time Please see the last section titled "Option for updating the Outflow elements" I filed an enhancement for a feature that automatically associates catchments to their nearest outflow element to be considered for future versions of the software. The enhancement number is 186940. Regards, Mark

Hello Randy,
Currently, you can assign the catchment to be defined as multiple subareas. You can then use the Subareas collection field. The screenshot below shows where these properties area:
This would still be a single catchment and have only a single outflow element, but it may be useful for some purposes. I will put in a request for a feature to split catchments. If this is included, it will be in a future release of StormCAD.
