A little clarification on this Pond Tool and what I foresee

1) First let us define either the bottom of the pond or the upper edge of the pond with a polyline.
2.) Then let us tell it what the side slopes should be and let us do more than one slope. i.e. 6:1 for 20ft and the down at a 3:1 to bottom.
3.) Let us either tell it what we need for a total volume and at what elevation that would be at so we can have an added free board. Also give us the power to tie this into our new H&H. So if the H&H said the pond needed to be X c.y. then the pond would be X plus the Free board.
4.) Maybe give us a wizard that would allow you to attach/add the criteria and then save this for future ponds.

Hope this helps give you a little more clarity.
