ORD Drainage - Make item Type Properties available in flex tables.

when adding columns to flex tables we need the ability to add item type properties to the flex tables. similar to how we can create UDX properties and show them on flex tables.

Nodes for multiple barrel conduits

The ability to place a conduit with multiple barrels is very useful. However, there are many scenarios where a single node is needed on each of the multiple barrels. Instead of modeling the pipes individually or creating custom twin-node workaroun...

Connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet

It would be great if ORD had the capability to connect a channel directly to an On Grade Inlet to be able to calculate spread and bypass at the inlet. Currently the workaround is to connect the channel to a Generic Outfall at the edge of the inlet...

Set Minimum and Maximum Cover Constraints to the Conduit Catalog, not the Prototype

Pipe standards vary their minimum and maximum pipe cover values based on the size of the pipes. There needs to be an ability to set this per conduit size so that when running a design you can consider these different cover depths. As of now, you w...

Create a rule to set drainage node to (active terrain) when setting elevation reference

Presently when setting reference elevation for the node it lets you set it to the active terrain but does not rule it to the (active terrain). If this were done the inlet tops would automatically adjust as the design terrain changes.

Civil view Settings (Drainage and utilities) in Personal Preference

Have the Civil preference for drainage and utilities as file setting rather than personal preference. There are times we had to change the settings depends on what we are designing. eg. we want to show connecting conduit if we do drainage, not whe...

Ability to add bends in watermain and when the bend angle is changed to geometry updates

When laying out watermain pipes the bends can be 45 degrees, 22.5 degrees, etc. These bends are modeled as nodes in our workspace so we can report of them and display them in our drawings. If the angle of the pipe adjusts, we want the node feature...

node cells should honor graphic cell type (handle multiple levels)

when a node feature is placed the cell is all on one level. i have cells for median barrier inlets that include the barrier in the 3d cell as this is included in the payment for that node. i put the barrier part of the 3d cell on its own level. In...

DU: add drop calculation to node invert depending on lowest conduit wall thickness

Some times, most common with concrete conduits, the node invert needs to have a drop in reference to the lowest pipe to acomodate its wall. This would later be filled to match.For construction and BIM purpose, this difference is important. Special...

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.
