>Modified Basket Handle Cross Section Warnings

>

There is a rule in SWMM 5 that the depth cannot be less than half the bottom width for a modified basket handle(see below).  You always have to have a maximum depth less than 50 percent or 1/1 of the bottom width,  If you do not meet this criterion then the program will generate an invalid number warning.  This is the code from xsect.c that checks the validity of the cross section data:
    case MOD_BASKET:
        if ( p[1] <= 0.0 || p[0]
        xsect->yFull = p[0]/ucf;
        xsect->wMax  = p[1]/ucf;
