Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, HAMMER, SewerGEMS, SewerCAD, StormCAD, CivilStorm, PondPack Version(s): 08.11.XX.XX and 10.XX.XX.XX Area: Layout and Data Input Problem A dialog / window / manager does not open in the Standalone version of the product. This includes FlexTable, Properties Grid, Selection Sets, etc. For instance, when double-clicking an element, the Property grid does not open or when opening the Pump Definitions manager, the program appears to hang or freeze. Solution If you are using an older version such as V8i SELECTseries 3 and lower, the best solution may be to upgrade to the latest version. Recent versions have a fix in place that should prevent the window from remaining outside the viewable area of your screen. Step 1: Reset Workspace The dialog may have been moved and docked in such a way that it is now hidden from view, or it is outside the bounds of your display. If you are unable to locate a dialog, you can reset the default window locations by using Reset Workspace . This will reset the workspace to the default settings. Now if you try to open the dialog, it should be displayed. In CONNECT Edition, this is located under View > Gear icon > Reset Workspace: In V8i and V8 XM, this is located under View > Reset Workspace: Step 2: Move Dialog with Keyboard If the dialog in question appears separately in your Windows task bar (such as flextables) ... Select the dialog in the task bar, hold down the ALT key and press SPACEBAR. Press M (Move). The curser will turn into four arrows and move to the dialog's title bar. Use the arrow keys to move the dialog. Press ENTER to accept the new position. Step 3: Resize Dialog with Keyboard Select the dialog in the task bar, hold down the ALT key and press SPACEBAR. Press S (Size). The curser will turn into four arrows and move to the center of the dialog. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the edge of the dialog to resize. Use the arrow keys to resize the dialog. Press ENTER to accept the new position. Step 4: Raise Screen Resolution The monitor's resolution may be too low. Try raising your screen resolution. The steps to do this vary with the operating system and video card being used. Generally, the screen resolution can be changed by going to the Control Panel , opening the Display category and then selecting Screen Resolution . Step 5: Maximize Dialog from Taskbar (Windows 7) Locate the program's window on the taskbar at the bottom of your screen and hover over it so you can see the windows open in that program. See the screen shot below Right-click on the window that you cannot see and select "Maximize". The window should now cover the screen. Simply grab the window by left-clicking at the top of the window and dragging it down. Step 6: Delete the .dwh file Open the folder containing the model files. Delete the .dwh file associated with the model. See Also Missing Menu Toolbar in Standalone File Open Dialog does not appear

Wiki Page: Reporting Details of Fittings (Minor Losses) for Each Pipe
Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD, HAMMER Version(s): V8i, CONNECT Edition Area: Output and Reporting Problem How can I list all pipe fittings in the model plan view or in reports? For example to conform with Chapter 22 of NFPA 13 Related Enhancement # 318786 Solution Reports In the pipe properties, if you have selected "False" for "Specify local minor losses", you can enter a list of specific minor losses in the Minor Losses collection. You can specify multiple minor losses per pipe. To export this for reporting purposes, you can set up a spreadsheet and connection in Modelbuilder using the table type "Pipe, Minor Losses". Create a spreadsheet with columns for Pipe Label, Fitting name and quantity, then map to these fields in Modelbuilder, using the pipe label column as the Key Field. In the last step of Modelbuilder, choose No when asked to build the model. Then, back in the Modelbuilder manager, select the entry corresponding to the spreadsheet and click the “Sync out” button. You’ll then have a spreadsheet with the list of fittings and quantity for each pipe. Note: if you need to also include other pipe attributes in your report, such as the diameter, you could set up a separate ModelBuilder connection to another worksheet in the same spreadsheet file, then set up a VLOOKUP in the worksheet that has the fittings to be able to report the diameter. Plan View You can color code and/or annotate pipes to more easily identify from the drawing pane which ones have a fitting. This could be done on the field "Minor Losses " or the calculated "Minor loss coefficient (derived)". Of course, if there are multiple fittings and you want to know which pipes have a certain fitting, that gets more complex because when “specify local minor loss” is set to False, the list of fittings is entered in a “collection” that resides within the junction, requiring you to “drill into” (open the collection) to view the list. One possible option would be to add a text user data extension where you could list the names of the fittings and quantity, then annotate on that. A note on NFPA 13 Chapter 22 Reports Starting the the CONNECT Edition release of WaterCAD and WaterGEMS, a new Custom Reports feature will be available. This will give you the flexibility you need to produce a report per the format defined in NFPA 13 Chapter 22. You can configure it to show custom lines of text (such as a table of contents), flextables, graphs, plan view, etc. If you need to calculate and report on equivalent length of fittings, you may be able to use a formula-derived User data extension to calculate the equivalent pipe length based on the calculated minor loss field in the results of the pipe. For more on Formula UDX, see the links in the "See Also" below. You could then include this in your flextable and it will update dynamically as computed headloss changes. Note that sprinkler systems are not the main intent of WaterCAD and WaterGEMS and as such, a dedicated sprinkler software may be more suitable. See Also Adding Multiple Minor Losses To a Pipe

Forum Post: RE: Is using the 'geometry collection field' for deducing the number of bends the ideal way to count the number of bends?
Phanindra, ModelBuilder could be used to help with the reporting. You can use it to export all minor losses to a spreadsheet (for example) to be able to report all fittings in a model. See: Reporting Details of Fittings (Minor Losses) for Each Pipe
