Automatic updates to long sections when changing results

When viewing long sections in conjunction with tabulated results, the sections do not update automatically when the storm event is changed - you have to click the row in the table once more to update the section. Please could this be fully automated?

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.

Urban Creep

Global urban creep isn’t helpful. We have a process of assessing UC on a pipe-by-pipe basis. We separate the areas that UC should be applied to and areas such as flats the highway that don’t need it. If global UC is applied, then you are adding 10...

Manhole orientation to match architecture

It would be really useful to be able to align rectangular manholes to match the architectural constraints of a building such as a orientation of a corridor/wall. Currently LiveDesign can only show manholes with the orientation centred and perpendi...
