Thank you. I watched how you imported the stream alignment and the stationing of your stream had 0 km upstream. You said it should be downstream and you used the reverse command.
I had the same problem with my imported stream alignment. It did not allow me to draw a reservoir on the stream. It kept returning the message The outflow locations doesn t form a closed pool.
I searched the internet and it took about 3 hours to find your useful video, to realize that the problem was the stream stationing actually and I needed to have it reversed.
Maybe I should search some more, but I didn t find a help and support forum.
