A minor suggestion I have would be to allow for the specification of lateral lengths
in increments. Probably way too much coding to incorporate but throwing it out there anyway.
I typically manually adjust lengths PVC piping lengths into 20 foot increments and
Poly tubing lengths by full rolls, 1/2 rolls, 1/4 rolls, etc as deemed best fit.
While it may not be as accurate design-wise, it sure makes for an easier install and
less wasted materials.
Also I am sure this has been mentioned many times before but bumping up the maximum
number of lateral sizes. Exploding a block entity just to do some minor tweaking such as
including another lateral size or two is something I think we all would prefer to avoid.

Re: lateral suggestions
I have mentioned something similar to this on the forum - having an option to round of Pipe lengths to 6m (20ft)...I agree with you and I think it is something that can help speed things up.
