Chainage, pipe bedding and cover grade information in long section exports

Add chainage, pipe bedding and node cover grade information as options for long section outputs. These are standard requirements for a lot of water authorities so would prevent manual changes being required to allow these outputs to be included.

Cumulative area discounts flow through structures and network before

The cumulative area calculation discounts everything before a flow through structure and the nodes attached to the structure. LLFA's are now requesting calc files due to the print out also reading your incorrect pathing of calculations. Theirs no ...

Manhole Schedule Degree Reference

We’ve noticed a significant increase in the use of precast manholes across nearly every development we’re involved in. The companies supplying these typically issue drawings where each incoming pipe is referenced by its angle relative to the outgo...

Highlight if the Colebrook-White or the Manning's equations is being used by highlighting (or greying out) the "ks (mm)" or "n" in the link details.

It seems that if a pipe has a swale upstream then the pipe uses the Manning's equations to compute flows etc, but if it has nothing upstream or a pipe upsteam then it uses the Colebrook-White equations. This means that on the same storm water syst...

To be able to show pipe crossings when plotting long sections.

When plotting long sections, it would be useful to be able to show the crossings from other drainage networks. The crossing are shown on the long sections viewer in flow but not when you plot them.

Customise the section box appearance for long sections

Being able to adjust the depth of the rows in the section box will speed up the process of producing the long section drawing. Alterations to the table are typically also required in order to be able to read all the information. Setting the text m...
