Re: Object images in GE

Hi Nick,

The images come from our web server and they cannot currently be easily customised.

In theory, you could save a KML file from Irricad and change the style file references to point at your own style file / images, but that requires a fair bit of work and background knowledge.

Regards,

Dan

Google Maps Platform Update

Hi All, If you use Irricad’s Google Earth Import utility, you may have recently received an email from Google regarding changes to the way the Google Maps Platform is to be charged and billed. This may raise concerns about unexpected costs due to your API usage. However, we believe that with the ne...

Re: change System/zone flow units label

Hi Sergio, The unit keywords texts (e.g. #LARGEFLOWUNIT#) are derived from the unit strings, which are fixed in all cases, as per what you can see in the unit settings. You can, nominally, just replace that directly with the string you want (i.e., instead of using the keyword #LARGEFLOWUNIT# just en...

Re: Flushing manifold - automatically place the vacuum breaker at high elevation.

To clarify - do you mean the highest end of the flushing manifold, or the highest point on the manifold?

Re: Filling a Reservoir

Without seeing your design in detail (e.g., pump arrangement etc.) I can only make general recommendations. The Irricad solver only evaluates elevations at the ends of pipes, so your observation is basically correct. To get Irricad to account for the elevation rise, place a junction in the pipeline ...

Re: Block flow rates change after zone design

Hi Guilherme, Prior to design, flows may be quoted in Irricad based on the nominal flows from the database e.g., SDR for tapes. After the design process the actual flows are used where appropriate. You may have a mismatch between these in your database. One thing to note, for instance, is that the n...

Re: Drip Sides on Curves

Hi Rubem, While you can draw a tape with as many segments as required to form a pseudo-curve, this can be a lot of work. However, Irricad can convert curved lines into polyline tapes that are a usually good representation: Curve.png You can also use the tape block tool to create a block of curved (o...

Re: how to open standalone file(.DEZ) in link?

HI Ari, 1). Yes this is normal. Some changes were necessary in the latest version of Standalone to accommodate the Pivot module. The current version of Link doesn't know about the Pivot module, and thus gives errors. Unfortunately, there isn't really a very graceful way around this until we can rele...

Re: Math functions for more Label fields

Hi Nick,

Yes it should work for any integer value. Note that that isn't the method used by the "round down" example though. That simply subtracts the remainder of dividing the number by the specified value (100) from the original value.

Re: Math functions for more Label fields

Hi Nick, We have typically only applied rounding to real numbers. Since the values you are interested in are integers, rounding doesn't work on them directly. This is the first time we've encountered a request to round integer values - mostly people want the exact number! With that said, you can rou...
