External model checking process - by possibly running a report to identify where 3d conduit string lines have been placed - i.e soffit, centre, invert, crown or base, this will ensure all output data of conduits are consistent for construction.

This is useful to enable a) - checks to be carried out, b) - to identify possible conduits that require amending - to align with all others. This will enable consistent and accurate output data to be produced, that can be used to construct from.

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.

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 different levels for different conduit sizes in the same catalogue.

For Conduits, on our 2D plans, we show a different linestyle for each size of pipe. In InRoads, we would enable centerline display using these different linestyles. This linestyle is a wide dashed line with solid edge lines. We cannot replicate th...

Land Use Areas from a Reference

It would be nice to extract Land Use Data from a reference file rather than requiring the Land Use Areas always be drawn in the main drainage design file. This would both cut down on clutter in the design file and also allow larger areas to be del...
