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...

When using the Place Gutter tool and using the Trace Slope option, it only allows you to use a surface to create the trace. This works well if the Surface is perfect, but there are times where a sag inlet is placed appropriately based on the roadw...
