What’s New

For this update the following major functionalities and capabilities are included, along with some bug fixes.

General

  1. Session defintion process is enhanced with a feature to apply host sketches on the fly.

    The sketch and user defined tag are applied upon setting the Object Types for the session.

    Note: Surface data host sketches are automatically applied upon hosting valid data to objects.

    This reduces modelling time, and improves efficiency.

Terraform

Back to ToC

  1. Design level values are displayed on Elevation view.

    Similarly, on a cross-seciton view, elevation values are displayed.

  2. Teraform is enhanced to allow generation of multiple cross-sections to AutoCAD at once.

  3. In addition to enhanced color management tool (started in previous update), save as feature is included and enhanced.

    This allows working on, and comparing, different models of the same design problem. Giving users maximum flexibility.

ChannelRate

Back to ToC

  1. Allow release flood mark levels (variable editor now accepts 0 value)

  2. Show water levels in multiple sections, if available. This updae shows water surface levels in sections other than the base cross-section, if the multiSection method is used to solve for the rating curve.

    Figure: showing a cross-section downstream, but solved with Manning’s method.

  3. Enhanced visual to identify if current displayed cross-section is the base cross-section or not. Those other than base cross-section are now drawn in broken lines. The water surface level and shades are also lightened a bit for better visualization.
