Open Roads Catchment Area

Question

Hello, 
 
 Is there a way to turn off the feature where when you modify a vertices of a drainage catchment ( in the drainage and utilities workflow) it modifies all catchments with that shared line. It is a difficult feature to work with because a lot of the time I just want to modify and make smaller or bigger only one of the catchments and it modifies them all. Would be nice if it could be turned off completely. 
 
 Thanks, 
 Eric

Eric, 
 My guess is that you have used MicroStation snaps when placing your catchments, and the Civil functionality by default will persist those snaps as rules, so modifying one catchment vertex will update any others that are snapped to it. There's no specific functionality in Drainage and Utilities to join vertices of catchments together. 
 The Feature Definition Toggle Bar - which is available on the Geometry > General Tools ribbon of the OpenRoads Modeling workflow, has a toggle to control whether snaps are persisted or not, which you could try.
