calculate 3D volumes of flow through structures

This should be done without having to change the footprint shape in Sketch, SmartTools, Live Design.

Ability To Import Strings For Ponds

When designing storage features in FLOW there is no current way of getting the storage for ponds to look correct to my knowledge graphically. It would be beneficial if you could import your base and top-of-pond strings directly from PDS and state ...

Accurately calculate the base and bank-top surface areas of flow through ponds for all shapes

The flow through pond storage option allows the user to select a side slope, depth and base area. It can then predict the bank-top area of that structure. The user can also adapt the shape of the pond/basin in Flow and Live Design and these update...

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...

Generate total volume within nodes and links

To allow an approximate overall attenuation volume when using oversized pipes or manholes, allowing a total possible volume with links and nodes could be useful for reporting purposes

When are we getting the ability to model complex junctions?

We have a second Phase to progress of a project previously modelled in PDS, which incorporated complex road junctions. This cannot be imported correctly into live design and is therefore causing an issue.

Incorporate overland flow analysis with below ground drainage design

Provide ability to either have overland flow draining into a pipe network or flooding out of a pipe network to be able to model resulting overland flow paths / flood extents
Ian Woolgar over 3 years ago in LiveDesign 0 Already exists

When modelling overland flows, need the ability to easily add swales / channels to the finished surface

Using the 'Modify levels' command to create a swale feature works, however, this does not create an entity that can be either revised or deleted.

Ability to set individual plot boundary levels and use these to adjust the finished surface (boundary to be any polygon shape)

Increasingly we are working on steep sites where we need to try and make usable gardens by setting gradients, often resulting in level changes at boundaries requiring retaining walls
