The stream alignment forms the basis for the common schematic used to visualize model elements within an HEC-RTS watershed. This series of guides provides step-by-step instructions for creating a new stream alignment, modifying an existing one, and customizing its visual appearance.

Creating a New Alignment

Learn how to create a new stream alignment in your HEC-RTS watershed—either manually, from a shapefile, or by importing it from an existing HEC-ResSim model.

Editing an Existing Alignment

Learn how to modify an existing stream alignment.

Customizing the Appearance

Learn how to adjust the visual style of the stream alignment, including color settings, labels, and tic marks.

Exporting the Alignment

Learn how to export the stream alignment into a shapefile that can be used outside of HEC-RTS.
