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...

Ability to reorder columns to user preference

Having the ability to reorder the columns and save as a user preference to avoid scrolling across the 30+ columns without having to hide them individually.

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.

select hydrobrakes manually and/or change the flush-flow point

Given the development of "fit to outlet pipes (XP)" and the ability to manually set the Flush-Flow point on other ones, it would be useful to be able to have more flexibility within flow to either manually select a specific hydrobrake or at least ...

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.

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 about 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

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...
