Create channel section lines from points
Survey data for river sections is often delivered as point data. To be able to create a model in ICM from this it needs to be converted into a line. This functionality was available in RS.

Show individual vertex points in the geoplan at all zooms
Vertices are only shown in the geoplan when zoomed in. It would be useful to see these at all zoom levels for cross sections and bank lines.

Use PDM Soil moisture deficit variable to trigger RTC
Just like you can set thresholds or target values for level or flow in an RC I would like to be able to use the Soil moisture deficit variable from PDM subcatchment to regulate structures or variable pumps. This could be useful to somewhat reproduce the behavior of water users such as pond fishermen or irrigating farmers.

Spread automatic inserted vertices in Bank Lines equally
The "Update from ground model" provides the option to “Insert vertices on lines to give maximum spacing of x m”. This is very useful for creating Bank Line vertices at small intervals. It would be helpful if those inserted vertices are spread equally over the Bank Line section.
At the moment new vertices are created at the specified interval (e.g. 10m), which often results in new vertices created very close to the existing downstream Cross-section end vertices. This can result in tiny internal triangles during meshing.
Spreading out the inserted vertices at equal distance over the Bank Line will provide…

Add a result grid window for cross sections
Currently there is not a grid results window to show all cross sections. Would be helpful to have one. Also would be good if the grid window can show geometric elements of each cross section, such as bank levels, flow area, wetted perimeter, hydraulic radius, critical depth, etc.

Assign Channel shape from ground model using cross section
In ICM I can sample elevations from ground model to cross section line and use that for river reaches, but sometimes I just want to use simple Channel links or maybe I'm using the SWMM engine which doesn't have rivers.
I want to pull the channel shape profile from a cross section line on the map to quickly configure simple 1D storm systems.

Validation of Bridge data
When a model is validated, it doesn't pick up on problems with bridges, that prevent the model from running. For example, the error "bed section is above soffit" is given when trying to run the model, but does not appear in the validation messages. Also, when cross section lines were changed, the validation messages do not mention you having to update the bridge (as they do with the reaches).
A better bridge validation would be very useful.5 votes -
Support for more than two simulations in long sections
When evaluating the effects of raising and lowering roughness it would be helpful to display three or more simulations in the same long section; at the moment it is only possible to display 2.

River bank cumulative flow
It would be great to have the ability to graph bank flows and have a cumulative flow result available.

Only update interpreted points on Bank Line when updating from Ground Model
When updating bank lines from ground model it would be useful to have an option was available to only update the interpreted points, therefore retaining vertices heights from cross sections and surveyed points. Or an option to easily delete the interpreted points, so they can be updated.
6 votesThanks for this idea, I agree that it would be great to see this.

Time varying roughness values for rivers
As vegetation changes throughout the seasons, it would be great if we could also have time varying roughness patterns for river reaches.

Bank marker distinctions
It would be good if cross sections for rivers could be marked with left and right bank markers within the cross sections themselves.

Lateral inflows from event data for rivers
Currently it is possible to add lateral inflows to a river via subcatchments, if we could also do this directly from event data or TSDB that would be great.

River reach theming
It would be great if a river reach could be themed individually across the left and right banks and if theming were more flexible for storage areas too.

Dissolve river reaches into multiple river reaches
It would be great to have the capability to generate automatically and perfectly snapped nodes in all/some of the X-sections of one/multiple river reaches in ICM and therefore split that river reach into various river reaches (kind of the opposite tool of the river reach merging tool). The two main applications for this are 1) If you need to connect a pipe to a river reach and you need to add a new node that will interpolate a new X-section somewhere and will cause the river reach polygon to be outdated, so you need to generate it again... it is…

Optional channel to river reachs option
The way ICM identifies the centre-line of the river reach is by using the point with the lowest invert level. Regardless of the shape of the channels of how much is the value of the X coordinate, didn't affect the appearance of the section to generate, I hope to be able to add a function, can recognize the center line of the river, and the X coordinate is used to define a mapping point distance from the centerline of the channel of the (negative value on behalf of the center line on the left side of the river, when the…

Rating curves / equations as downstream boundaries
At the moment we can use 'user control' links to act upstream of the DS boundary. These links have head/flow/power as their inputs. It would be useful to have a dedicated object that could be either a look up table of levels (rather than heads) and discharges, or an equation that would define the level / discharge relationship. Note that if an equation option were selected then it would need to be multi-part to allow for a changing relationship as water goes out of bank.

Intelligently select nodes in river reaches
When clicking on a node over a subcatchment, the software can recognise the user is after the node. When the same is done for a node on a river reach, the node is not automatically selected but rather the choice is presented to the user.

Implicit SQL link between River reaches and associated storage area
It should be possible to write a validation query to check if the lowest vertex of a River reach bank line does not lie below the ground level of the storage area it overflows to. With an implicit link between the river reach and the left and right storage areas it overflows to, the query would be easy:
Object type: river reach
SELECT WHERE min(leftbank.Z) < leftnode.groundlevel;
SELECT WHERE min(rightbank.Z) < rightnode.groundlevel;1 vote
