Variable infiltration rate with depth of structure.

Particularly for the new dry swale modeling feature in V16 it would be good to be able to apply different infiltration rates at different depths. Modelling different structures with different rates is not as effective as having them within one str...

Add a 'lock Node/Catchment positions' button to the Sketch window.

This is a very serious issue, if you accidently move an area, SmartTools will then double count that area next time you import it into Flow

Drive - When creating vehicles enable wheels on separate axles to be adjusted

At present you cannot have varying wheel sizes on each axle and instead can only have one fixed wheel size and width. This therefore means we cannot have accurate swept paths tracks for for vehicles and/or trailers where the wheels sizes change. A...

Slope annotation for links to be rounded to the nearest whole number.

When adding the slope annotation for a pipe it always comes through with 2 decimal places. Looks untidy and takes up unnecessary space on the dwg sheet. If this could be rounded to the nearest whole number or the nearest 5 or 10 then we would use ...

Diagram or Visual display feature when creating link types

I wanted to share an idea that might help improve usability when creating link types (such as a swale or dry swale). Would it be possible to include a diagram or visual display feature, similar to what appears when creating a storage structure? Th...
