Drainage Profile Change Property (Color/linestyle)

Currently, Profiles are drawn according to the feat definition/element templates of a node and/or conduits. There are times we need to differentiate the difference between an existing network vs proposed. eg. all proposed are required to be solid ...

Name Changing Per Drainage Structure

When naming nodes, we usually associate that node name with the conduit, drainage area, and gutter name. But, if we have to update the node name (ex: 0401 to 0405), then we have to change all the other names manually. User is looking for possibili...

Drainage and Utilities to support non-drainage pressure pipes

Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of ...

Ability to modify 'Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factor' for a specific catchment or range of catchments.

Currently there is only an option to add Rational Method Frequency Adjustment Factors for the entire storm, which affects all catchments. Our GDOT standards require modification of the factor for only C values less than 0.6.

GEOPAK-like Drainage Tools

I would like to see tools added to ORD that would mimic the Drainage Tools found in GEOPAK. Specifically, I would like to be able to visualize Drainage Patterns. I envision this be something that could be added to a Terrain Feature Definition, sim...

Show Projected 3D Cuts when using the Project Run Tool

If we project the profile runs to centerline, we lose the ability to show the utility crossings generated by the 3D cut at the pipe centerline. We can add a 3D cut at the road centerline, but often the crossing utilities are not in the same locati...

Connection Region in Bottom of Node

The current connection region of drainage nodes are available for the side faces of node only. The software should allow the connection region of pipe/conduit from the bottom of the node.
