Highlight in black text ALL elements that have NOT been auto designed when auto design is turned on

Currently when auto design is on and a manhole is repositioned in sketch, the length of the associated link does not update even though the text remains blue. However the gradient of the link does update (based on the wrong length). This is decept...

Tank Porosity Option

When the 'Tank' option is selected for a flow-through structure, please can a Porosity option be added to represent a geocellular tank structure. This one simple change would allow easier design in Flow, and means there wouldn't be a discrepancy i...

Highlight the row and column of the selected cell

Could you add a highlight ability (similar to that in Excel), so that when you have a cell selected it highlights the row and column. In particular for row, this would make it easier to read off other values relating to that link during design work.

Pipe sizing to take account of controls

Current pipe sizing doesn't allow for controls restricting flows and only applies the modified rational method. Designs are increasingly needing multiple controls through the networks and the ability for the system to size the downstream pipes acc...

Be able to set auto-design to off as a preference rather than having to select each link and node

Having a tick box in the preferences to turn auto-design off for the entire model, this is to reduce the risk of the software making changes when inputting an existing network or checking a proposal submitted by others. Currently have to add each ...

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...

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.

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...

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.
