Hi.
I'm using IRRICAD V21 Bricscad V23 X64 link.
is it possible to create irrigation block with "groups of groups" like in greenhouses?
see attached screenshot and dwg drawing.

in a greenhouse there is the growing span width "A",
in that one,
every distance "B" there is a group of 3 laterals and there are 6 of them.
then a road\path with width of "C".

and there a number of those spans and in between the road "C".

I need the orange frame to be one irrigation block\area.

is something like that possible?

thanks,

aridzv.

Hi Ari,

The Irrigation Block tools only allow for one set of grouping.
You would have to make each "6 sets of 3 laterals" as one irrigation block, without an automatic valve placement, and then feed all 10 irrigation blocks from one manually placed valve. Therefore you still only have the one zone.
Note that once you draw the first set you can use the copy tool to simply copy and place as required.

I trust this helps.
