negative cover depths visual warning

Is there a way that Flow could highlight where there is a negative cover depth? As it’s not too bad on a small network to search through all the links, but as the network gets larger it becomes harder to do. It’s only just that the red/orange/gree...

Time Area Diagram in m2 for Green Roof Runoff Method

Change the units for the area column in the time area diagram to m2 (or have the ability for user to change the units between m2 and ha). When using time area diagram, as per the Green Roof Runoff Method (link below), it results in areas of 0.001 ...

To be able to show pipe crossings when plotting long sections.

When plotting long sections, it would be useful to be able to show the crossings from other drainage networks. The crossing are shown on the long sections viewer in flow but not when you plot them.

Total Impermeable Area on Calcs Printout

The sum of the total impermeable area is not currently printed on the calcs, this could be incorporated with the total Time/Area information (as per a previous suggestion) as MicroDrainage does.

Minimum Pipe Length

The mimimum pipe length in Flow is currently set to 1m. Where modelling junctions and connections there may be less than 1m between the junctions. Please revise the minimum length to around 300-500mm.

Automatic introduction of backdrop manholes to limit pipe slopes/velocity in steep sites

Would it be possible for Flow to introduce backdrop manholes in order to reduce pipe slopes/flow velocity (storm and foul)? In steep sites it is often necessary to do this manually in the software and it is time consuming to optimise. It is alread...

Time to half empty Calculations

I have a request regards time to half empty of infiltration systems. Irrespective of what I set in the preference page (whether time to half empty by volume or by storm) I just get time to half empty of the structure. That isn’t very useful inform...

Total Volume of Structure

Finding total volume of a structure would be useful (similar to the volume Static Tool in MicroDrainage).At present the only way to do it is look at the storage tab and hover over a depth in the storage structure section and it shows the depth and...
