Place a sanitary pipe that follows a terrain at a specific depth of cover.

It appears that the software currently doesn’t allow sanitary conduit FDs to follow a slope even when the FD is set to depth of cover. it would be nice to tell the program to follow a given depth under the terrain, so I can see the pipe slope vary...

Clip Conduits (pipes) at inside edge of Drainage Structures and Report "True" Horizontal Lengths and Vertical Lengths in the Properties

This is more than useful; this is absolutely required. When laying out Drainage Networks, pipes need to be trimmed at the inside edge of the structures, and the "True" pipe lengths (horizontal & vertical) need to be provided in the properties....

Allow spread sections to be read directly from a terrain model or Corridor Model

Geopak Drainage could read a TIN file to establish the cross slopes for spread. This functionality should still existing in Drainage and Utilities by reading corridor models and terrain models. Users should be allowed to define an infinite number ...

Changing end condition priorities

Can there be a function which end condition priorities can be changed without modifying the template. For example if priority 1 end condition is for a fill batter and priority 2 is for a table drain. Over a given chainage range can a function be c...

Replacing the end element(s) of a complex element

There should be tools to allow the end elements in a complex element to be replaced by the designer. The Redefine tool can be fine for elements in the middle and the append tool may be fine for just adding but if I want, for example, to swap the l...

Allow multiple drainage node elevations to be simultaneously assigned to a terrain

It would be helpful if multiple drainage nodes could be assigned to a terrain in one step. This would solve a problem if someone deletes the proposed terrain that was used to initially layout the drainage system. Currently users have to update the...
