h3. General Program Information

This script draws the tank that houses the inner walls and baffles of the floc tank. The script then draws the inner walls and subtracts the ports between the channels.

h3. Technical Program Outline

*local* \-1) A new layer "floctank" is made using the [Layer{~}new~|AutoCAD Basics Layer] creates a new dark grey layer, "floctank."

local <\- layer{~}new~("floctank",dkgrey)

*local* \- is redefined as the "floctank" layer and the tank that houses the innerfunction.

2) The [Tank|AutoCAD Tank Program] program is called by floctanktankscript to draw the outside walls of the baffles and the floc tank, both stackedflocculation tank.

local <\- stack(local, Tank(floc{~}origin~, totalfloc{~}dim~, T{~}PlantWall~))

*for loop* \- the for loop draws the inner walls and then subtracts the3) The inner walls are drawn as rectangles, each placed one by one to give a&nbsp; uniform channel width.

4) The ports between channels forare eachdrawn wall.iteratively Localand isare thensubtracted stacked withfrom the inner walls and subtractions iteratively.

for5) iThe from 0..N{~}FlocChannels~ \- 2
local<-stack(local, box(wall{~}origin 0,i~, wall{~}origin 0,i~ + wall{~}dim~), box(flocport{~}origin 0,i~, flocport{~}origin 0,i~ + flocport{~}dim 0,i~), subtract(wall{~}origin~, flocport{~}origin~))

*bigunion1* unions all objects drawn thus far into a single object.

bigunion1 <\- union{~}allA~

*layerset1* \- selects the layer "0"

layerset1 <\- layer{~}set~ ("0")

*layerfreeze1* \-inlet to the sed tank is drawn and subtracted from the outer tank.

6) The "floctank" layer is set to zero, to allow freezing.

7) The "floctank layer" is frozen using the [Layer{~}freeze~|AutoCAD Basics Layer] locks the layer "floctank" so that it cannot be edited.
layerfreeze1 <\- layer{~}freeze~("floctank")
