Enable hydraulic analysis for referenced files

For large projects, we need the ability to have multiple engineers working on the hydraulic model. We can achieve this by splitting the pipe network into multiple files and creating catchments in separate files. Doing so causes us to lose the abil...

DU: Only modelling workflow

When starting a DU, OpenRoads creates a whole DU project inside the file and brings a lot of hidroly/hidraulic properties with it. That's fine if the goal is to run an analysis. But what if I just want to model a whole network and never run it? Di...

Drainage Civil Labels/Annotation Groups Recognize Applicable Pipe Inverts

Currently, drainage structures require various civil labels to be set up for the various numbers pipe inverts coming into a structure (0-5 possible). It would be beneficial if the civil labels and annotation groups automatically annotated and upda...

limit the number of Rows in the Elevation-Area Table.

I get close to 40-50 rows of data when I assign a "pond" to a terrian. I only need data every 0.1ft but it is providing much more.

Allow multiple drainage node elevations to be simultaneously assigned to a terrain

It would be helpful if multiple drainage nodes could be assigned to a terrain in one step. This would solve a problem if someone deletes the proposed terrain that was used to initially layout the drainage system. Currently users have to update the...

Allow for Hydraulic calculations and profile creation while using tap nodes

Tap nodes are incredibly useful but do not allow for hydraulic modeling or for profile runs. I'd prefer to use tap nodes over transitions because they are easier to use and do not break trunklines into segments. This would help with profiles, pipe...

Add columns for conduit construction length and constuction slope to flex table

Is there a way to add constructed length and constructed slope to a conduit flex table? I can build annotation for these fields for plan production, but I haven't found these fields to add to a conduit flex table. This would allow for more options...

Allow spread sections to be read directly from a terrain model or Corridor Model

Geopak Drainage could read a TIN file to establish the cross slopes for spread. This functionality should still existing in Drainage and Utilities by reading corridor models and terrain models. Users should be allowed to define an infinite number ...

Visualization of Flood Fill based on min and max height values

A function of flood fill a portion of the terrain based on a min height and max height value. It allows a drainage engineer to visually check if a certain flood top water level will flow beyond the project boundary. Is there a way to do this in Op...
