Custom Grate Spacing and Sizes

It would be amazing if we could utilize our own grate spacing for calculating the head on inlets. KYTC has several grates that don't quite match with what is in the delivered system, and this may affect the depth of the head on the inlet.

Element Templates Point to Multiple Cells

At KYTC we like to show the vaults of drainage structures, in order to do that S&S drew them for us. ORD does that in 3D, however, we turn the 3D off when producing plans. It would help in the case that we could point to two cells (one that ma...

Profile Annotation Groups

A lot of our project show multiple profiles in one profile view (EG, Proposed PGL, RT Gutter, LT Gutter, etc.). In MicroStation we set up a specific .ddb file that would plot the text labels in the desired location. We haven’t been successful in c...

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

Make Grips Visible and Useable on 4k displays

When using Grips for Structures and Pipes - the grip blends too much into the background color, and on a 4K screen is TINY. The pipe grip is annoying to select (it only appears when I select the centerline of the pipe) but when adjusting or swapin...

If no Design Lenghts in Catalog - Ignore or Set Design Inlet Openings to false

I do not see a place to force in a Inlet Catalog to set "Design Inlet Opening" to false, so I would like the software to assume False if lenghts are NOT in the catalog.

Drainage Structure Analyzer

Please include a tool similar to the Drainage Structure Analyzer from Inroads Storm and Sanitary. This tool is very useful for quick sizing without having to set up a model, especially with culverts and channels.

Add report for information about pipe bends

Kindly add a non-graphical way of identifying whether a pipe contains bends or not and information about the coordinates. The report is required to produce pipe setting out schedules and share the coordinates with the contractor. It would be...
