Place User Defined Attributes within Flow

We regularly require specific attributes depending on client requirements. Being able to add additional User Defined Attributes would really help with the versatility of the software and reduce automation later down the line

calculate 3D volumes of flow through structures

This should be done without having to change the footprint shape in Sketch, SmartTools, Live Design.

Update Assign Manhole type when placing schedule to apply DCG

When placing a manhole schedule in PDS, you are only presented with the options to apply SFA 6 or SFA 7 when automatically assigning manhole type. Both of these are now out of date and option for Sewer Sector Guidance DCG would be useful.

coordinate entry

user defined section entry is confusing and misleading. "Width" implies overall width of section whereas we are actually required to add coordinates for each side of the section. Relabel the columns, and/or maybe include help link to an example.

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...

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
Ian Woolgar over 2 years ago in LiveDesign 0 Already exists

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
