LP Design - Zone pipes cut

Good day,
Vegetable projects we do on a flexible hose - Lay Flat. Flexible Hoses come in coils of 100 meters. Therefore, we design the pipeline zones multiple of 25 meters. For example: 6'' - 50m then 4'' - 100m and at end 3'' - 32m (182m all). This method is convenient for installation.
Maybe I can make the conditions in the LP Design that IRRICAD cuts the pipe multiples 25m.

Thanks.

Valery,

In Design|Pipe Fitting Matching Table the last column is Roll/Len where you can specify how many metres or feet in a roll or length of each pipe type. For example you might enter 6m for a length of PVC and 25m for roll of flexible hose. The Bill of Materials reports will now list numbers of rolls or lengths rather than metres or feet. Note the rounding and roll/length values are not used in Costing reports only in Bill of Materials reports.

But this only applies to BOM. I talked about how the program calculates zone pipes. Can IRRICAD cut the pipe only when designing a multiple of 25?

Thanks

Currently LP design does not do this however we plan to look at this option early next year.
