h3. Input Definitions
h5. Inputs Needed to Call the Inlet Slope Trapezoid Function
origin - A 3*1 matrix with x,y,z positions corresponding to the point where the inlet slope will be drawn.
Length - length of the slopes, generally the length of the sedimentation tank

h{~}orifice~ - height of the opening that will allow inlet flow
b{~}orifice~ -
thick - thickness of the slopes
n - number of orifices and sections, one section contains one orifice
bigslope - slope of the inlet in degrees
little slope -
