ResSim Layer Drawing Properties

When you select Properties for the ResSim layer, the ResSim System Draw Properties editor appears ("Figure: ResSim Layer Draw Properties - Reservoirs"). This editor has four tabs that allow you to view and edit properties of the Reservoirs, Junctions, Reaches, and Diversions in your model schematic. The ResSim layer is available in the Layer Selector when opened from the Reservoir Network and Simulation modules. However, in the Simulation module, the ResSim layer appears as a sub-layer under Model Schematic.

Reservoirs

In the ResSim layer, reservoirs are drawn using the same four distinct elements as in the Study layer:

• a Triangle Element—a re-shapeable polygon representing the reservoir pool,
• a Storage Reach Element—a thick line drawn on top of the stream alignment; it stretches from the inflow junctions(s) to the outflow junctions(s),
• a Dam Element—a rectangle drawn behind the reservoir's outflow junction(s), and

• a Reservoir Name label.

The Reservoir tab ("Figure: ResSim Layer Draw Properties - Reservoirs") of the ResSim System Draw Properties editor provides options for setting how reservoirs will appear in the Map Display, but there are fewer properties to set/modify than in the Study layer:

• Fill Color—Select the fill color of the reservoir pool polygon from the list of pre-defined colors. The default fill color is cyan.
  Note—the reservoir storage reach will be drawn with a dark version of the selected fill color; as such, the default fill color for the reservoir storage reach is a dark cyan.
• Outline Color—Select the outline color of the reservoir pool polygon and the reservoir storage reach from the list of pre-defined colors. The default outline color is blue.
• Dam Color—Select the fill and outline color of the dam from the list of pre-defined colors. The default dam color is blue.
• Minimum Dam Width—Select the width of the dam rectangle, in points, from the selection list. Possible values are 1–15. The default width is 10. The length of the dam rectangle is a multiple of the width.
• Reach Width—Select the line width, in points, from the selection list. Possible values are 1–15. The default storage reach width is 10.
• Draw Reservoir Polygon—Use the checkbox to indicate if the reservoir pool polygons should be drawn in the Map Display area. Uncheck the box to turn OFF the reservoir pool polygons.
• Draw Reservoir Name—Use the checkbox to indicate if the reservoir name labels should be drawn in the Map Display. Uncheck the box to turn OFF the reservoir names.
• Name Font…—This button opens the Font Chooser ("Figure: Font Chooser"). Use it to modify the font properties of the reservoir name labels. The reservoir names will be drawn using the Outline Color.

Junctions

Junctions are drawn as filled circles. The Junction tab ("Figure: ResSim Layer Draw Properties - Junctions") of the ResSim System Draw Properties editor provides options for modifying how junctions will appear in the Map Display:

• Junction Width—Select the diameter of the circle, in points, from the selection list. Possible values are 1–15. The default diameter is 12.
• Fill Color—Select the fill color of the junction circle from the list of pre-defined colors. The default fill color is red.
• Outline Color—Select the outline color of the junction circle from the list of pre-defined colors. The default outline color is blue.
• Draw Junction Name—Use the checkbox to indicate if the junction name labels should be drawn in the Map Display. Uncheck the box to turn OFF the junction names.
• Name Font…—This button opens the Font Chooser ("Figure: Font Chooser"). Use it to modify the font properties of the junction name labels. The junction names will be drawn using the Fill Color.

Reaches

Reaches are drawn as a thick line on top of the stream alignment. The Reach tab ("Figure: ResSim Layer Draw Properties - Reaches") of the ResSim System Draw Properties editor provides options for modifying how reach will appear in the Map Display:

• Reach Width—Select the width of the reach line, in points, from the selection list. Possible values are 1–15. The default diameter is 10.
• Fill Color—Select the fill color of the reach line from the list of pre-defined colors. The default fill color is blue.
• Outline Color—Select the outline color of the reach line from the list of pre-defined colors. The default outline color is blue.
• Draw Reach Name—Use the checkbox to indicate if the reach name labels should be drawn in the Map Display. Uncheck the box to turn OFF the junction names.
• Name Font…—This button opens the Font Chooser ("Figure: Font Chooser"). Use it to modify the font properties of the reach name labels. The reach names will be drawn using the Outline Color.
  Draw Flow Direction Arrow—Use the checkbox to indicate if the flow direction arrows should be drawn at the midpoint of each reach in the Map Display. Uncheck the box to turn OFF the flow direction arrows.

Diversions

A diversion is drawn as a polyline with an arrowhead at the downstream end. The connectedness of a diversion is reflected in the color of the arrowhead.

The Diversion tab ("Figure: ResSim Layer Draw Properties - Diversions") of the ResSim System Draw Properties editor provides options for modifying how diversion will appear in the Map Display:

• Fill Color—Select the fill color of the reach line from the list of pre-defined colors. The default fill color is blue.
• Outline Color—Select the outline color of the diversion reach line from the list of pre-defined colors. The default outline color is blue.
• Connected Fill Color—Select the outline color of the reach line from the list of pre-defined colors. The default outline color is blue.
• DisConnected Fill Color—Select the outline color of the reach line from the list of pre-defined colors. The default outline color is blue.
• Diversion Width—Select the line width of the diversion, in points, from the selection list. Possible values are 1—15. The default line width is 6.
• Draw Diversion Name—Use the checkbox to indicate if the reach name labels should be drawn in the Map Display. Uncheck the box to turn OFF the junction names.
• Name Font…—This button opens the Font Chooser ("Figure: Font Chooser"). Use it to modify the font properties of the reach name labels. The diversion names will be drawn using the Outline Color.
