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.

When changing gradients on pipe, automatically changing the downstream pipe to level soffit rather than having to change invert level manually.

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...

Include check dam option in swales

Check dams are commonly used in swales to temporarily pond runoff to increase pollutant retention and infiltration and decrease flow velocity, but Flow does not have an option to model them. As they are a recognised SuDS feature, and commonly used...

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.

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...

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.
