Total Impermeable Area on Calcs Printout

The sum of the total impermeable area is not currently printed on the calcs, this could be incorporated with the total Time/Area information (as per a previous suggestion) as MicroDrainage does.

Minimum Pipe Length

The mimimum pipe length in Flow is currently set to 1m. Where modelling junctions and connections there may be less than 1m between the junctions. Please revise the minimum length to around 300-500mm.
