Hi
for the modelling of a gutter I am getting the following warning message:
"There is a gutter leaving this 'In Sag' catch basin inlet. By definition, gutters should flow towards 'In Sag' inlets - consider reversing the gutter start and stop nodes"

You can simply connect the catchment directly to the downstream ditch inlet (catchbasin element) and configure the gutter in the catchbasin properties. The spread and depth reported at the catchbasin location is measured directly upstream of the inlet opening (the part of the gutter directly upstream of the inlet) If you simply have a known flow and not a catchment, you can enter that in the catchbasin properties under "Flow (additional carryover)".

I appreciate you for your attention to my question,
Actually I am a little bit confusing about modelling of "gutter and pipe" and "Spread and depth" measured in the gutter.
Typically I come across these two following options:
Option1- when I have ditch inlet and flow enters into it from gutter or from swale.
Option-2 when I should model stormsewer system into a subdivision.
I'll appreciate you if you can suggest (or give) me the prepared model which cover these issues?
Thanks in advance
Hamid
Hamid,
The spread and depth reported at the catchbasin location are measured directly upstream of the inlet opening (the part of the gutter directly upstream of the inlet). Please see the attached screen shot below:
I'm not sure what is confusing you about pipes and gutters, but if you could describe what you're confused about with them we would be happy to try to clear that confusion. For modeling your situation that you have described in option 1 please download and have a look at the model that I have provided a link for below:

For option 2 I'm not sure what you're asking, so you are going to have to provide more details on what you are looking to model because it sort of just looks like normal model with catch basins, conduits, and gutters. If it's still related to the issue that you were asking about above I'd encourage you to read over the information that I have already written up again as it should describe that situation.
