Storm Cad gutter

hi,I'm designing An urban storm water network system using stormcadV8, and I cannot decide where I need to use GUTTER to carry excess flow? is it just A modeling element or has A practical application?

  • In StormCAD, there is a surface gutter network and a below-surface pipe network. Catchbasins represent the above-surface inlet as well as the below-surface vertical vault. Above-surface runoff that approaches the catchbasin inlet (for example attached catchments) and some or all of that flow is captured by the inlet, and enters the sub-surface pipe network. For inlets on-grade, some of the flow to the inlet may not be captured and will bypass the inlet. This bypass flow will travel down the downstream gutter link element and as Yashodhan mentioned, the gutter element connectivity will determine the next inlet that the gutter bypass flow will approach. Meaning, the flow in that gutter will travel to the next downstream connected catchbasin and approach its inlet location. Here's an illustration to help:
