better layer functions

Items are drawn on whatever layer you happen to be using at the time, rather than breaking down various entities to a corresponding layer. For example, when placing a road all the information for that road is on a single layer and various colours ...

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.

Function to add a prefix to node names

Industry wide drainage system manholes are normally named as S1 and F1, can we add a function to add a prefix to the nodes in Flow, avoids the element of human error having to manually name everything. This option is available in microdrainage, it...

Ability To Import Strings For Ponds

When designing storage features in FLOW there is no current way of getting the storage for ponds to look correct to my knowledge graphically. It would be beneficial if you could import your base and top-of-pond strings directly from PDS and state ...

Provide technical guidance an the use of ReFH2 in Flow

There is an absence of guidance on the use of ReFH2 data in Flow. I understand from discussions with the Help Desk that they don't have access to the software. In the absence of reasonable guidance the ReFH2 features are worthless.

Flow to calculate side infiltration area of basins

It would be extremely useful if FLOW could calculate the infiltration areas of infiltration basins/flow through ponds rather than having to calculate it ourselves. For example, if we suggest a minimum base area, height and side slope, then FLOW wo...

Accurately calculate the base and bank-top surface areas of flow through ponds for all shapes

The flow through pond storage option allows the user to select a side slope, depth and base area. It can then predict the bank-top area of that structure. The user can also adapt the shape of the pond/basin in Flow and Live Design and these update...
