Hydraulic Gradeline reverse direction

Post by seng »

I really appreciate the HGL presentation options. However, I seem to frequently obtain the upstream end on the right side rather than on the left side where it would be more appropriate for readers, especially when we want to check distance from an upstream point. Is there an alternative to having to settle for an HGL which is presented in the downstream to upstream direction?

Thank you for your feedback.
Currently this is delibrate as the hydraulic gradeline displays the upstream end in relation to where this is on the screen so that it corresponds to how the irrigation system is laid out. If the upstream side is not directly on the left or right side then it follows in-built rules to determine how best to display the hydraulic gradeline so the user does not lose their orientation.
We would need to investigate if the distance ruler can be aligned to start from the upstream side if this is on the right.
