Channels Attach to other nodes besides headwall

If ditches do become channel features, KYTC would need channels to then be able to attach to other node types besides headwalls since we have many conditions and locations where they outlet into inlets of various types.

SUDA - Spread Slope

Make it easier to manage longitudinal spread slope. It's nice to input the slope in the properties per node, but consider making it integrated to the gutters used during bypass flow drawing of gutters.

Ditches be channel features

It would be wonderful if ditches were channel features so that they could be treated as surface features like gutters are to get head on inlet.

Custom Grate Spacing and Sizes

It would be amazing if we could utilize our own grate spacing for calculating the head on inlets. KYTC has several grates that don't quite match with what is in the delivered system, and this may affect the depth of the head on the inlet.

Element Templates Point to Multiple Cells

At KYTC we like to show the vaults of drainage structures, in order to do that S&S drew them for us. ORD does that in 3D, however, we turn the 3D off when producing plans. It would help in the case that we could point to two cells (one that ma...

Allow Conduits from different "families" to connect to the same node.

Add support for nodes that accept multiple types of conduit families.

Simplfy the Interface - How many "sizes" can there be?

Object Properties - Feature Definition of a pipe is top level, its description is a pick list of diameters (TxDOT), but Utilities Properties has three different locations. This complexity is unnecessary.

Gutter spread - flip side

Why do gutters not have a "side" as spread when drawn appear in the right side.

If no Design Lenghts in Catalog - Ignore or Set Design Inlet Openings to false

I do not see a place to force in a Inlet Catalog to set "Design Inlet Opening" to false, so I would like the software to assume False if lenghts are NOT in the catalog.
