Provide pop-up message when drainage "breaks" and becomes red dashed line in appearance

Many User's are experiencing an issue where portions of their drainage layout (nodes for example) are becoming red dashed lines in appearance. This change indicates a break/error in the design and absent specific reasons why this occurred, User's ...

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...

Maintain Item Types when extracting drainage or utility model from survey graphics.

When using "Extract From Graphic" tool to create a drainage or utility model object, the extraction process fails to bring the Item Type from the source object (in this example a surveyed gas line), leading the user to reattach the Item Type to th...

Improve retention of user inputs in inlets

Ensure that user-defined inlet values remain consistent and are not overwritten by prototype default values when minor changes are made elsewhere. This would preserve design intent during edits.

Step-by-Step Guidance for Resolving Inlet Issues

Drainage flex tables for referenced drainage models

Having a drainage flex table that can be used for drainage models that are referenced (this could just be physical information: ID, size, material, inverts, etc., and zoom to) would help so much in reviewing designs.

Static Drainage Profiles

Creates drainage profiles that are static (non-dynamic) that are very quick/simple to make (15-seconds), much like SS2 was, to better enable iterative design.

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...

Separate SUDA Seed and Feature Def DGNLIB

In the current software version it is necessary to have hydraulic prototypes, catalogs, ect. in the same dgnlib as any SUDA/SUE feature definitions. This is due to how prototypes and such are managed within the software. In the workspace/workset c...

Display the slope of the conduits in the Node utility properties

There are a lot of properties of the conduits connected to a node within the utility properties of that node. However, one thing that I need to call out (and would like to automate) is the difference in slope that occurs between two conduits conne...
