Model building connections to avoid the need to use third party software

Can a function be added to allow users to model building connections such as foul connections or connections from RWPs. This would allow the modelling of all below ground drainage in one model and allow BIM collaboration with other design discipli...

Ability to interrogate properties of the Line/Sign objects using an Object Enabler

Currently PDS relies on AutoCAD's Proxy Entity functionality to display the markings/signs in drawings when they are opened by a 'non Line/Sign user'. This means they can view the objects but not interrogate them. The ability interrogate the prope...

Foul network analysis

Water authorities are asking for a foul water network analysis to confirm the velocities, pipe diameters and flows. Flow cannot provide this information because the foul network has not outlet and it gets flooded. Your response is to add an hydrog...

Outflow rates below 1 l/s to be specified to exact decimal point

It will be beneficial if the outflow rates below 1 litres per second can be specified to the exact decimal point. This is because a minimal change in a small outflow can have an impact on the storage required.

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

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

"Select all" option for each storm duration and specify a surcharged outfall by level

In Causeway Flow, having an option to "Select All" storm durations in simulation settings, as well as when specifying a surcharged outfall for a specific return period, would be useful. Also, having the option to specify a surcharged outfall by wa...

200yr Pre Greenfield Runoff

Looking for the ability to use the system to calculate the 200yr pre development greenfield discharge for a development site. Currently you can only calculate the 1,2,5,10,25,30,50,100,500
