Description
2027 Improvements:
● Sewer Line Logic: Implemented “Trunk” vs. “Tributary” line; Added the ability to define
separate starting stations for Trunk and Tributary lines; Added a command to reset the
Trunk Line while keep the rest as the Tributary lines; Added a command to reset the line
name; Added plan view control on selected lines; Removed line name support for trench
and F2F sewer plan views where not applicable.
● Annotation Styles: Implemented automatic naming of sewer structures based on Line
name and index; Introduced a new junction annotation style that includes trunk and
tributary line names and stations in the junction labels for both plan and profile; Added a
setting to increment manhole stations by rounded pipe lengths.
● Improved options for labeling, reporting and stationing sewer profiles.
● Interactive Analysis:
○ Added active rainfall ID and return period tracking in the spreadsheet editor,
allowing for real-time HGL updates in OpenGL view.
○ Added Catchment Area (CA) and Accumulated CA to the editor.
○ Added file modification dates to the Sewer Inspector.
○ Added detection and warning messages when pond sizing inputs fall outside
recommended sizing ranges.
○ Improved sewer data handling during LandXML import and export.
○ Added detection for duplicate line names to the Add Tributary Line routine.
● Lateral Improvements: Cleanout labels and partner blocks now reference distance from
the downstream structure rather than station.
● Dynamic Editing: Added a prompt to edit the upstream pipe after its downstream pipe
has been grip-adjusted in profile.
● F2F Pipe Warning: Added a warning to FLD2FIN Pipe Processing to prevent accidental
parameter overrides by append description special codes.
● Sewer Profile Inspector: Added profile/sewer link type and improved slope accuracy by
using original pipe slope settings.
● Plan View Settings: Added a prompt to confirm saving settings to the .pvl file upon
exiting the dialog.
● Cleanup Function: Automatically removes unused sewer-profile links from the drawing
dictionary.
● Naming Automation: Improved auto-naming support for sewer lines with varying
names.
● Draw Sewer Profile:
○ Link Profile: Improved “Off, Draw Only” option and dictionary saving.
○ Preview: Updated profile preview to show actual pipe material labels.
○ Manhole Labels: Added horizontal offset options.
○ Station Style: Refined horizontal label box logic based on grid selection.
● Soil Download: Supports non-natural soil classifications (e.g., water, urban land).
● Detention Pond Design: Stored Culvert tailwater condition data and culvert design
control type in the pond file; Increased the decimal precision for the C factor and CN
values.
● User Experience:
○ Added an error message for calculation failures when drainage data is missing.
○ Ghosted the starting station input field when no tributary line exists.
● Importing sewer networks from 3D polylines automatically sets trunk outfalls and
improves outfall selection prompts for tributary lines.
● Added additional options and more control for designing sewer trunk lines
● Improved sewer spreadsheet editor for displaying structure name prefixes to indicate
structure types.
● Improved dynamic editing of sewer profiles maintaining properties (layer, linetype, color)
directly from the sewer profile dictionary.
● Improved conversion of Civil 3D pipe networks to Carlson sewer files (.sew) during
Civil 3D Pipe Import.
● Added a settings report for global and channel settings in GeoFluv.
● Improved options to export sewer networks to points.
● Added an option in sewer plan view to connect headwall symbols to pipes at the inner
wall.
● Added more options to sewer structure reports.
● Added support for the hectare area unit in Pond Design and updated runoff C-factor and
curve number computations.
● Added C-factor adjustment features for higher return period storms in Pond Design &
HydroNet and updated calculations and reports.
From Carlson Software, you get complex calculations of surface flows integrated with the DTMs:
- Tap extensive libraries on rainfall, inlets, manholes, outlets
- Calculate inlet intercepted and bypass flows, gutter spread and depth, pipe flow depth and velocity, and hydraulic and energy grade lines
- Get warnings for collisions, excessive pipe lengths, insufficient cover, lack of slope, excessive flow rates, and more
- Track runoff and analyze watershed – choose entire area or the watershed above a point such as a catch basin
- Design ponds, culverts, channels and outlets
- Draft sewer pipe dynamically in plans, profiles and 3D
