Perforated pipes
This will be hard to implement so it's kind of a longer term ambition, but it would be really helpful if InfoDrainage could properly model a perforated pipe.
Pretty often we have a perforated pipe below a structure - what would now be called a stormwater control - like a permeable car park or a swale. The "main" flow is running through the pipe, usually because depth won't permit it to be sent directly into a shallow feature, but as the hydraulic head rises water infiltrates out of the pipe in a gravel trench and builds up until it fills…
3 votesThank you for the suggestion and thanks to those who commented and voted.
Within SWCs, we have added an option called Under Drain, with this option, you can model a perforated pipe, and once the pipe is out of the system into the flow control chamber, it won't be perforated anymore so you can use a conventional pipe to model it.
Please feel free to touch base with our support team if you have any questions on the above.

Output flow controls details
When presenting results to be checked/reviewed either internally or by client or LPA/LLFA, you have to present details of orifices, hydrobrakes, etc so that they can understand what items are in there. In InfoDrainage because flow controls are not a seperate item type, the only way to present that information is to output every single "outlet" on the scheme.
On a large scheme, that means that my results file can be three or four pages of dozens of lines of "outlet = pipe", and about two or three actually relevant items hidden somewhere in the middle.
It would be great…

Output Cv values
Cv values used to be set globally and would be output as part of the simulation criteria, so the values that were used were always visible in results files for LPA/LLFA officers to check that the model complied if a 0.9 or 0.95 Cv was requested as many authorities now do.
Now the Cv values are per catchment, so if I need to change them to suit an authority's requirements I have to do it manually on many items, and it's hard to output them to prove to the authority that I have followed their requirements.
It would be great…
2 votesThe report that is automatically generated by InfoDrainage has this detail when you tick Inflows (see screenshot attached). InfoDrainage will report on every subcatchment and detail what CV values have been used for summer and winter.

Levels for "junction" items
When using the "junction" connection item, it always sets the cover level on the item to 0. This is true even if you had a manhole that had a proper cover and invert level input, if you switch the manhole to a junction (for instance because you don't want to falsely include the volume of a manhole that isn't actually there) then it jumps the cover to 0 and the invert to -1.5. (It might not do it if you have a ground model in, not sure, I usually work without).
You can fix it by going across to the…

In InfoDrainage, junctions are used as nodes without volume to enable modelling a Y or T junction, or it could be a point in the middle of a culvert that is getting wider for some reason.
You are right; when the pipe US and DS cover levels are 0, and the junction has a level of 0, the model will find no way to design the system and run the design wizard. Therefore, to address this, we've implemented a warning message that will stop users from proceeding with the design if they have junctions and the associated ends of the pipe have a 0 level (that hasn't been overwritten). Users can still use the level 0 but they need to overwrite the default 0 to proceed. The warning message will be made available to users in a…

Fall column
Include a column in the connection design table that displays an editable 'fall' value, i.e. calculated value of US/IL - DS/IL, used to be a handy feature in MicroDrainage Network

PDF output Data sheets - Same as MicroDrainage
Have a setting when printing results to output in the same or similar style as MicroDrainage. Options to display certain storms, critical storm by differing criteria, and summaries of pipelines, manholes and other data

Mixed decimal place
I'm using InforDrainage 2023.1 and there are mixed numbers after decimal point. In profile view, there are five digit after decimal point which is unnecessary.

Thank you for the suggestion and thanks to those who commented and voted.
This is to confirm that we've received your suggestion and we're in the process of implementing this in InfoDrainage so users can see the slope on the table below the long section. This will be made available to user in future releases of the software.

Provide Hydraulic Results in Civil 3D
As a Drainage Design user, I want to annotate the various Hydraulic results in plan and in profile within Civil 3D. I would like these results to automatically appear from my InfoDrainage design results.
6 votesThanks to those who submitted, voted and commented on this idea. This is to confirm that we've received and reviewed the requirements to implement results migration from InfoDrainage to Civil 3D and this is currently in our road map for development in future releases of InfoDrainage.

Sewer Design - Depth to soffit
InfoDrainage currently has the depths shown as depth to invert when depth to soffit is more useful to ensure the sewer has sufficient cover

Velocity and proportional velocity to be shown on Tables
When designing sewers a critical design criteria is the pipe velocity when full or at design discharge rate. It makes designing sewers quite iterative without this included
5 votesThank you for the suggestion and thanks to those who commented and voted.
In order to get rid of the dendritic numbering system that was in MicroDrainage which prevented users from modelling bifurcation, we had to introduce the design wizard rather than an optimise button that looked at the whole system. This means that users will have to run a design wizard to check the velocities. However, we've introduced various flexibilities for turning on and off design criteria parameters which will make these iterations easier.

We are working on enhancing the long section, so it shows more data in the tables, and we made it flexible so users can select what to view. We are also working on annotating the Hydraulic Grade Line and the Energy Grade Line. This is now on our road map for future releases of InfoDrainage.

InfoDrainage - Split subcatchments option for Laurenson runoff routing method
It is industry best practice to split up the subcatchments in a model into their pervious and impervious areas when adopting the Laurenson (or RAFTS) runoff routing method ie U = 2 and U = 0. The current workflow to achieve this is to setup the model with 2 subcatchments representing the impervious and pervious surfaces within a subcatchment. Existing Innovyze software (ICM and XPSWMM/XPSTORM) provide the user the ability to split the area of a catchment up into a number of different runoff surfaces. A feature like this would be great to have for InfoDrainage.

Please can the output drawings be able to be produced in landscape.
When using the extend view to produce drawings it appears to be only able to undertake in portrait. Also the title block cannot be changed in size which can make the drawings untidy. Finally can there be an option to move the lables around so they do not clash.
3 votesYou can scale the labels in InfoDrainage from the display setting to ensure that they do not clash.

Improved tutorial for setting up a network
InfoDrainage - i am just trailing software and using the metric tutorial. i do not like loading in items from MicroDrainage or AutoCAD and was hoping the tutorial would show how to quickly setup a highway drainage system with pipes/manholes/gullies.
when asked "was this page helpful" i put thumbs down, hoping to get a chance to say the above but i cannot type in the feedback form. please update chapter 2 "creating the network" so that new users can setup a simple network - all ive done is click buttons to load random data and do not feel like i…5 votes -
