Max or Min Flow values should not depend on the pipe direction. i.e. the value being positive or negative depend on the pipe direction

Currently, if the flow direction through the pipe is opposite to the direction of the pipe drawn it shows as a negative flow value. So if the flow goes both direction during the run, smaller positive value shows as the maximum flow and larger negative value shows as the minimum flow. This is wrong.

    InfoWater Pro reports Max/Min flow using the absolute value. InfoWorks WS Pro reports velocity according to maximum magnitude (+ or -) for understanding shear stress but flow maintains the sign since that has some applications. While WS Pro can Theme the pipes with absolute value of flow, you can use an SQL to generate a table. For example: SELECT IIF(sim.qmax>ABS(sim.qmin),sim.qmax,ABS(sim.qmin)) AS [Max Q]
