SMS:Breaklines Workflow

To create breaklines in a scatter set or mesh, use the following steps:

1. Create nodestrings/breaklines.
Select the Create Breakline tool. Click along points of a common elevation, such as at a bank toe or levee crest, to connect these points in the surface. Use the Backspace key to back up if an erroneous selection is made. Double-click or press Enter key to complete the breakline.

2. Import breaklines.
Breaklines can be imported as a scatter set using the File Import Wizard.

3. Force breaklines in a mesh.
Use the Force Breaklines command in the Nodestrings menu. Set breakline options in the Nodestring Options dialog.

4. Force breaklines in a scatter set.
Use the Force Breaklines command in the Breaklines menu. Set breakline options in the Scatter Breakline Options dialog.
