Problem

When changing the road cross slope in a model, the gutter spread and depth values are not changing in the results.

Solution

If you are using a catalog gutter, you will need to change the road cross slope and other gutter properties in the catalog gutter dialog. This is because the properties for catalog elements takes precedent over properties in the properties grid. A future release of the product will make this more clear.

In the meantime, you can change the road cross slope by opening the catch basin properties grid, selecting the pulldown menu for "Catalog Gutter" and choosing Edit. You can also access the gutter catalog by going to Components > Catalog > Gutter Catalog (in the CONNECT Edition of the software) or Components > Gutter Catalog (in the V8i release). Select the appropriate gutter and change the road cross slope.

Once this is open, adjust the road cross slope value. When you recompute the model, the results will change. If you are comparing different road cross slope values, you may want to create a new catalog gutter to use instead of editing the existing one. That way the original gutter properties will still be available if you want to return to those.
