Calculation column in drainage and utilities flex table.

A formula could be made using existing columns to calculate a value that is atypical or not an option otherwise. I need a pipe full flow velocity check for a design. I can use excel to calculate using full flow capacity and full flow area but if t...

Create a rule to set drainage node to (active terrain) when setting elevation reference

Presently when setting reference elevation for the node it lets you set it to the active terrain but does not rule it to the (active terrain). If this were done the inlet tops would automatically adjust as the design terrain changes.

DU: add drop calculation to node invert depending on lowest conduit wall thickness

Some times, most common with concrete conduits, the node invert needs to have a drop in reference to the lowest pipe to acomodate its wall. This would later be filled to match.For construction and BIM purpose, this difference is important. Special...

Clip Conduits (pipes) at inside edge of Drainage Structures and Report "True" Horizontal Lengths and Vertical Lengths in the Properties

This is more than useful; this is absolutely required. When laying out Drainage Networks, pipes need to be trimmed at the inside edge of the structures, and the "True" pipe lengths (horizontal & vertical) need to be provided in the properties....

Circular Eccentric MH Feature Definitions Rotation Reference Point Addition

The insertion point for circular eccentric manhole feature definitions is at the center of the MH 2D top. When it's rotated, it rotates at that point instead of the center of the 3D base. Please create the ability to use the insertion point to set...

Flow Arrow from High to Low Point for any Civil/Linear Geometry

In placing drainage node to the carriageway or kerb/curb lines in 2D plan, it is useful to show the flow arrow from high point to low point for the drainage engineer. Currently, the flow arrow is only available in "Terrain", but not civil geometry...

Individually Define Maximum Spread

in Drainage and Utilities, remove the Maximum Spread (global for the dgn file) and make it editable for each individual node. Roadways have lots of different gutters etc so I don't want a max spread for the whole file, I want individually.

Place a sanitary pipe that follows a terrain at a specific depth of cover.

It appears that the software currently doesn’t allow sanitary conduit FDs to follow a slope even when the FD is set to depth of cover. it would be nice to tell the program to follow a given depth under the terrain, so I can see the pipe slope vary...

Allow spread sections to be read directly from a terrain model or Corridor Model

Geopak Drainage could read a TIN file to establish the cross slopes for spread. This functionality should still existing in Drainage and Utilities by reading corridor models and terrain models. Users should be allowed to define an infinite number ...
