SewerGEMS: Grey out unnecessary tools and options in ribbons

SewerGEMS software dynamically hides attributes in the object properties window that are not used at given settings in calculations. However, this approach is not applied to the options and tools visible in the ribbons. Suggestion: Tools and optio...

[Copy] It would be beneficial to allow drainage designers to use graphical elements in combination with terrains to define time of concentration components

Currently, in order to determine one of the components of the Time of Concentration (Tc), ORD DU users have to jump completely out of the 'Catchment Properties' interface to determine the length and slope of the Tc element (since once you are in t...

[Copy] ORD Drainage - Show actual Tc versus Tc Minimum

Many times a calculated Time of Concentration is less than the minimum used for Intensity. When this occurs in a system of drainage areas (catchments), it helps a designer AND a reviewer to see what the actual Time of Concentration is at a given p...

[Copy] Openroads Drainage - HGL versus Headwater Analysis for Headwalls Inletting into a Storm Sewer System

Many times, a stream needs to be drained into a storm sewer system via a headwall. When this occurs, two analysis should be considered: The headwater at the headwall (the mechanics of the water getting into the pipe at the headwall). Generally K...

[Copy] Add ability to set default Engineering Libraries for all users

As it stands, I can make a new Engineering Library on a network drive to share with other users, but if I wanted to make that library the "default", I can't without having to make the change for each individual user.

HAMMER: Transient Results Viewer\Extended Node Data\Hydropneumatic Tank: the pressure or head engineering units indicated as absolute values on the Y axis. Without such mention a gauge value is assumed.

A new user looking for the first time at a pressure or head graph might be fooled by the fact that the Y axis does not mention that the units being graphed are in an absolute value. He or she might think hey I'm ok, minimum gauge value is 10 meter...

Use a contour file to automatically set the elevation of new elements when I add them instead of having to use TRex repeatedly

I'm using WaterCAD and WaterGEMS for modeling and every time I add a new feature that is not on an already existing pipe, I need to set the elevation manually. For this I use TRex to set the elevation based on an ESRI contours shapefile from USGS....

REST API Connection

A REST API connector in WaterCad would be very useful. Bringing field data and attaching it to the hydraulic model is one of the projects that our company has been working on. Currently, there are many IOT platforms and field data can be collec...

Add a toggle to disable moving elements in stand-alone applications.

It is far too easy to move elements in stand-alone WaterGEMS, such that I frequently move things by accident (thank you for easy undo). It would be nice to have the option to disable moving elements since we're 1:1 integrated with GIS and I rarely...
