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....

Commands to Place Node and Conduit <Type> (e.g. Place Manhole, Place Stormwater Conduit)

At the moment, you run Place Node, then set the type of node by picking a feature definition. However, you normally know what type of node that you want to place, such as a manhole for example,so it would be more intuitive if the ribbon contained ...

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...

DU RIM Elevation calculated from Ground Elevation offset

The RIM Elevation is a stagnant number once you enter an elevation it does not update in relation to any surface changes. RIM Elevation would be better suited for use if it can be defined with an offset. Another field would be needed: RIM Depressi...

limit the number of Rows in the Elevation-Area Table.

I get close to 40-50 rows of data when I assign a "pond" to a terrian. I only need data every 0.1ft but it is providing much more.

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.

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 ...

Ditches be channel features

It would be wonderful if ditches were channel features so that they could be treated as surface features like gutters are to get head on inlet.
