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…

Why does InfoDrainage deafult to showing you the Stormwater Controls summary, and only the Stormwater Controls summary, when a model finishes running?
This occurs even if the Stormwater Controls are fine but the Junctions are showing flooding.
I mean, I know you can manually check all the other results summaries, but why doesn't InfoDrainage either open them all or choose the most critical one?
2 votesThank you for the suggestion and thanks to those who commented and voted. This is to confirm that we've received and reviewed your suggestion and here is our response:
We believe that stormwater controls are the most critical element of the drainage design. Hence we show the results of SWCs as soon as the simulation is finalised.
Users can/should check the rest of the model to ensure that there aren't any bottlenecks in the system.
It might be feasible to implement a dropdown menu within the SWC results so we can still show results from SWCs, but we make it easier for users to jump to different screens and check the inflows, connections and junctions.
Would the above address what is required for this case?

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.
Does the above address your suggestion re moving labels?
