Log in to add a Reserve TankTank Objects
Some tanks have extra bays or solid structures that change capacity. Model these as Tank Objects.
- Add – External spaces that hold extra water, such as side bays or sumps.
- Subtract – Solid structures that reduce capacity, such as ramps, blocks, and equipment.
Before you add objects: Edit the parent tank and enable Has additional tank measurements. Then add the object under the correct tank.
Use Main Tank Object for the Main Tank and Reserve Tank Object for the Reserve Tank.
