Hey Theo, you can show this as a symbols, but not in the BOM. Same way you add pipe reductions to the design, you can show/add submain flush ends.

Pipe Pressure Temprature Derating

Would be nice to see the ability to add either to the database or design parameters (or both) the ability to derate Pipe PN class due to different water or surface temperatures. It could be something you check in database to use this feature then, add pressure rating at different temperatures. May a...

Re: Telescoping Laterals in Tape Blocks

Yes I agree this would be a very nice feature to have. Also would be nice if the tape block allowed pipe manifolding. For example a tree cut out in the middle of a block, you can cut the laterals out for the tree cutout, but you have to run the zone pipe from the zone pipe feeding all laterals at th...

Re: Report ordering

Report ordering should be by Zone name and not unique zone ID.

Could this be a suggestion for an update in future reports as a default?

Selected Pipes in Database

Dear Irricad Team, A suggestion I have, is that it would be good when you open a design, pipes that are in the database that have not been selected for use (turned off at some stage), could easily be turned on for selection. For example an option/check box to show up, that has scanned the internal d...

Re: 30. UNDERSTANDING DETAILED ANALYSIS

:idea: Why not combine the two and just have Anaylsis. These days PC's run much faster, so having the more detailed anaylsis as the default wouldn't be noticed. (Will save some confusion/oversights) I know I have missed detailed many a time when running Non PC tube.

Re: 38. LP DESIGN TIPS

Hi Dan, That is a good tip, but are you sure that will fix the LP sizing issue. I have always had retail pricing in my database, relative to the pipe size, yet still get the issue with increasing/decreasing pipes when running LP design. Mainly when there is a lot of topography. On flat ground, it se...

Re: External Database Checkbox

Hi Kosi, Yes I agree, it was brought up in the past, but the reason it was brought up, was human nature, that we were happy with what we know, and that was the other software method. I am the first to admit that, but now that I know the software better and it is in my comfort zone as well as the oth...

Re: External Database Checkbox

This is my view on the database only. Couple of points: 1) What you are suggesting Kosi, is how the WCADI, database works. I believe that this has been put forward in the past to Irricad. 2) I personally like better the way currently Irricad operates the database, on a number of counts. Once you get...

It would be great if Irricad could prodcue an ISO drawing of a system. With options of, what you want to see, Main pipe, Zone pipe, Lateral pipe and/or combinations of them. This would assist installers and overall improve installations and also the understanding of the desinger. Below is a simple e...
