Utility Overhead Conduits/Nodes

Current Limitations Currently, creating overhead conductors between two "Overhead Nodes" (e.g., utility poles) results in a straight-line conduit. In reality, these lines always exhibit a natural sag due to gravity and tension forces. To model sag...

Allow Esri Shapefile Field Name to be longer than 10 characters

When exporting a drainage flex table in ESRI format, the default field names include names longer than 10 characters. This throws the error message: "The Esri Shapefile field name <Middle_Flow> for column <Flow (Middle)> cannot be long...

Make the Drainage Catch Basin Grate Perimeter and Open Area variables reportable

Some DOTs require input of an exact values for catch basin grate open area for orifice flow and catch basin grate perimeter for weir flow. ORD would consider these as calculated values, not inputs. These are not ORD outputs and are hidden from the...

Open API to programmatically create Feature Definitions and Feature Symbologies.

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 (...

Parametric capability for the placement of Node and Conduit feature definitions

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

Add The Ability To Insert A Vertical Bend Or Curve Into A Drainage Link/PIPE.

It would be very helpful and much more efficient if there was an option to insert a vertical bend or curve into a drainage link/pipe from the profile run profile view. Basically, adding the exact same tool that is available in plan/horizontal call...

Enhancement to Create Project Node to Element Tool

There is currently not a way to project a node from the Drainage and Utility Model to an element (horizontal alignment’s profile model). Profile runs can be created and then projected onto the profile model by conduit linkage. With this enhancemen...

Display transparent catchment boundary at the cursor when relocating an inlet.

Enable the user when relocating a catch basin to view the catchment boundary as the inlet location is adjusted. Thus, acting as a dynamic and transparent view of the catchment boundary for the inlet at the new location. This will simplify the work...

Drainage and Utilities to support non-drainage pressure pipes

Pressure pipes are essential components of many engineering systems, such as water supply, oil and gas transportation, and power generation. To design and manage these systems, engineers need features that can model the geometry and properties of ...

Profile Run tool feature definition setting ought to re-symbolize drainage objects in profiles

At present, when selecting a feature definition for a profile run, it only affects the construction element created immediately after defining the profile run. It would make sense to have a setting where the feature definition of the profile run o...
