Add ability to create custom channel as underdrain (not just pipe)

Currently, you can only chose a pipe or multiple pipes as the underdrain within various features (infiltration trench, dry swale etc.). It would be great if a custom channel (section) could be used so an infiltration trench could be used to model ...

Add Infiltration Option to Manholes

Other software allows you to add infiltration properties to manholes. In Western Australia, the use of Soakwells/Soakpits is an often practice and it is important to be able to account for this local infiltration within the Manhole

Apply direct inflows to permeable paving

There should be a way of applying the inflow that the paving receives directly (i.e. the rain that falls onto it) to produce a more accurate simulation of the rainfall. This direct rainfall isn't a lateral or point inflow, and being forced to mode...

Simulation Health Improvements

In certain instances, the suggestions provided in "Simulation Health: The results indicate flow continuity issues, even when the shortest time step is already selected in InfoDrainage" may not resolve the problem. This could be addressed by incorp...

Convert connections to bypass connections

There should be an easier way to convert connections to bypass connections. Currently a connection needs to be deleted and recreated as a bypass. Having a right click option on a connection to convert it to a bypass would be ideal.

Add Gravel Pit to Soakaway Design Tool

As a former MicroDrainage user, I'm struggling to model soakaways in InfoDrainage, as InfoDrainage does not account for storage volume within the gravel filter media that surrounds the soakaway. The gravel pit also provides larger area of infiltra...

Better hydraulic representation of flow in permeable paving

Flow through permeable paving does not occur as one would expect. Is greatly affected by the shape and direction the paving is drawn in InfoDrainage. When drawing an irregular shape the hydraulic grade lines appear incorrect, with flow all at one ...

Limit the chamber sizing calculator to 200 chambers

The chamber size calculator will add any number of chambers necessary, however, the model will not validate if the number of chambers exceeds 200. It would be better to not allow the calculator to exceed the validation limit.

Increase the limit of Chambers allowed

Currently in the 2025.2 version I am running, the number of Chambers for subsurface storage/detention allowed is 200. The sizing calculator says I need more and wouldn't validate the model. Would be nice to have a higher limit.

Hybrid gravel and crate soakaway option

We would like a Stormwater control (soakaway) feature that allows for a narrow gravel trench below a crate layer within the same soakaway, we have tried modelling as two separate features but the interaction between the two systems isn't accurate ...
