PowerInroads used to have a built in calculator/analyzer. It helped us to quickly calculate the drainage pipe information, minimum slope and velocity at full value etc. Currently to get the data, we use Flow Masters and manually calculate each pip...

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...

Geopak is no longer supported by Bentley. At some point, Geopak will not be installed on our machines, but we may need to get the calculations that reside in the GDF file. We need a method that will allow us to extract the information we need from...

Trench templates are used on pipes for fill quantities. It would be useful if you could place a trench that would automatically assign parametric constraints based on the size and pipe thickness of the pipes. Also, shapes other than a circle are d...

Currently when using RCB conduits and increasing the number of barrels to be more than one, the inner wall thickness cannot be changed and is way off. Having an inner wall thickness parameter can allow for meeting standards that require different ...

It is a common practice to specify a slope as an input parameter when creating a Network.For DU, the slope is rarely exposed and directly editable (only from profile, and if Set invert to Start and or stop is true - and if "Use construction length...

It would be extremely helpful, if we were able to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies so that automation of the creation of new 'Custom Drainage Features' every time a drainage structure had a different bottom box (...

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...

This would dramatically reduce the requirement for a vast number of library cells and feature definitions to be created

My state agency commonly uses gutters with a 4% cross slope. The maximum superelevation rate is 7%. The gutter slope stays at 4% in this situation. Spread does not compute in this scenario because "A depressed gutter must have a Gutter Cross Slope...
