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

It would be useful for engineers detailing and coordination to export directly from flow to IFC

Remove Requirement for Infiltration coefficient for porous paving

If designing a lined porous paving system, you are unable to have it non-attenuating. This requirement should be removed to design it to discharge elsewhere

Separating Flow Design Reports - Ability to split large flow networks into phased design reports.

There is a requirement to be able to produce design reports for separate sections of a larger Flow network when working on multi-phase developments.

Import Multiple Networks into one PFD file

For example if you had two PFD files, one for the west side drainage network and one for the Eastern side drainage network (perhaps because two people were designing them). But once designed you wanted to combine into one PFD file. i believe you c...

Modelling 'free flowing' foul sewer networks

when a foul sewer is simulated within flow, the software assumes a blockage within the network. This is not very useful when trying to design a network that just drains under normal circumstances. The current work around suggested by Causeway is v...

Actual discharge rates achieved in the approval report

Report the actual discharge rates achieved in the approval report, not just that they are below the GFR rates.

Change Porosity display

In the new update when you add the porosity it displays that porosity but it is quite an eye sore and would be beneficial to be able to remove or tone it down a bit.

COBie information for drainage systems

Clients are requesting we provide COBie information for drainage systems - it would be useful to have the ability to embed COBie data into the drainage model and export it for others to use. This is likely to be a more suitable feature in Flow but...

CAD Background overlay in Flow for stage 3 coordination of sites

For stage 3 designs that will not require civil 3D or smart tools, would be invaluable to just be able to overlay a basic cad layout into Flow to visualize indicative drainage layouts rather than manually putting in coordinates and hoping it's right.
