OpenRoads/Flow Masters Calculation and Annotation

PowerInroads used to have a built in calculator/analyzer. It helped us to quickly calculate the drainage pipe information, minimum slope and velocity at full value etc. Currently to get the data, we use Flow Masters and manually calculate each pip...

GEOPAK Drainage gave you inlet calcs after you placed an inlet and assigned a catchment without having to run a scenario. We need this functionality in ORD

In Geopak Drainage, once you place a node and attached a catchment, you were able to see inlet calculations. This let the user know if they needed to shift the box to have an allowable spread. It would be great if we could get that feedback withou...

Need to be able to read the GEOPAK Drainage binary file and export to a spreadsheet – without having GEOPAK installed or running

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Ability to extend profile runs

I would like the ability to control the limits of the profile run in profile sheets which would also allow me to control the stationing without having to create a separate alignment and project the drainage run into the separate alignment.

Allow Drainage field to be quickly edited in both the properties window and utility properties window

Sometimes (especially when upgrading a file from a previous release to a later release) the ability to update drainage fields is lost or restricted to one area. It will be "greyed out" and unavailable for editing in the utilities properties window...
