Forum Post: RE: How to assign peak factor in SewerGEMS????
Sir, I have applied above peak factor in my network as you suggest, It is clear. Now, I found that while designing network In conduit when cumulative population above 20000 conduit considered 2.5 peak factor as per our table. But flow in this pipe reduces compare to upstream conduit(Because of peak factor of 3.0). Sometimes it is possible that due to flow reduced in pipe, pipe dia. will adopted lower dia. compare to upstream conduit. Is it right way to used this peak factor table as per population?? Thanking You Rohit Vaghasiya

Wiki Page: Zero flow at all the junctions in the Fire flow Available column
Product(s): WaterGEMS, WaterCAD Version(s): CONNECT Edition, V8i Area: Output and Reporting Problem After a Fire Flow analysis run, I get zero flow at all the junctions in the Fire flow Available column. Area: Modeling, Problem ID#: 37211 Solution This most often occurs when either the residual pressure or zone pressure is less than the minimum pressure constraints included in the Fire Flow alternative. Both the residual pressure and zone pressure lower limit must be satisfied before the fire flow can be applied. This can occur for elements near a tank or reservoir, or on the suction side of a pump. If the issue is occurring because of a zone pressure, one possible solution is to move junctions like this to a different zone. In some cases, other constraints may be used as well. The automated fire flow has the option to assign pressure constraints for the whole system, as well as velocity constraints. Go to your Fire Flow alternative to confirm if you are using these.

Wiki Page: Viewing pond volume and area results in PondPack
Applies To Product(s): PondPack Version(s): V8i, CONNECT Edition Area: Output and Reporting Original Author: Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group Problem In PondPack, where do I find pond results like Elevation vs. Volume? For example if I'm using a Pipe or trapezoidal pond volume type and want to see the equivalent elevation-volume or elevation-area curve. Background Solution In PondPack 10 (circa 2005-2008), you could double click on the pond, click the Graph tab and would have the option of generating a pond storage or pond volume graph and table. In PondPack V8i and CONNECT Edition (2009+), after computing the model, this information is available by right-clicking on the Pond and selecting Pond Volume Results Table . So for example you could find the elevation-volume table for a Pipe pond.

Forum Post: Odd Mouse Pointer Behavior in WaterGEMS
Since I updated to CONNECT Edition 1 of WaterGEMS, my cursor disappears from the screen in certain operations. The normal "select" tool is fine. The "pan" tool works but shows a very small icon. On "zoom in" or "zoom out" the cursor disappears. I have dealt with it by guessing at where I am on the screen but now I am trying to add a Bing map and the cursor to register the map (pick a point on display) also disappears.

Forum Post: RE: StormCAD - element disconnection notifications
Hello Hari, The user notification in the image you provided references catch basins that don't have subsurface elements attached to them. When flow enters a catch basin it will then be subsurface flow. If a conduit is connected to the catch basin, then it can convey that subsurface flow. Without the conduit attached, the subsurface flow will have nowhere to go. This is why the message states that the captured subsurface flows are lost.

Forum Post: RE: StormCAD - element disconnection notifications
If there are conduits attached to these catch basins, they will need to connect to an outfall to be "valid". Make sure there aren't any overlapping nodes that create a disconnection in the network. You can use Network Navigator to locate elements that are disconnected from the outfall. To do this: 1. Go to View > Navigator 2. Click the ">" icon > Network Trace > Find Disconnected 3. For the "Find Elements Disconnected From" input field, choose "Select..." > click on the outfall element > Click OK. 4. The Network Navigator dialog will then list all elements that are disconnected from that outfall. 5. Click the highlight icon in the Network Navigator dialog to highlight all of the returned elements. This should make it easy to locate where the disconnection is in the model. The Network Navigator, Network Review query "Orphaned Nodes" may help as well. The following article was written for the different products, but it does a good job at explaining how to use the tool and includes a video demonstration. Using Network Navigator

Wiki Page: How to populate or update an existing model with GIS-IDs
Applies To Product(s): WaterGEMS, SewerGEMS, CivilStorm, StormCAD, PondPack, SewerCAD, HAMMER, WaterCAD Version(s): CONNECT Edition, V8i Area: Layout and Data Input Original Author: Jesse Dringoli, Mark Pachlhofer & Scott Kampa, Technical Support Group Problem How do I populate an existing model with GIS-IDs? Solution Two options are presented below, for populating an existing model with GIS-IDs. The GIS-ID feature helps keep your model in sync with your GIS. See more on GIS-IDs in this article . Use existing labels as the GIS-ID If your GIS unique identifiers are already being used as the "label' field for your elements, you can populate the GIS-ID field with the existing labels using this general process: 1) Export your element labels to an Excel file or shapefile. For example create new hydraulic-model level Flextables for each element type used in the model, containing only the Label field, then use the button in the upper-left corner of the Flextable to export to Shapefile. 2) Set up a connection to the file in ModelBuilder. Use Label as the key field, then map the Label field to the GIS-IDs field. For example for pipes, the field is called "Pipes, GIS-IDs". 3) When the ModelBuilder run is complete and you choose to build the model (sync in), the GIS-ID collection will now be populated with your labels and you will be able to take advantage of the benefits it offers. Use new labeling system from the GIS If the unique ID system is only present in your GIS, you can use the new spatial join feature (available starting with the CONNECT Edition Update 1 release of water and storm/sewer products.) This option in ModelBuilder allows you to build and update a model based on spatial proximity of the elements. This workflow will assume that your source file has the hydraulic model elements in them, as well as their GIS-IDs. If so, go through ModelBuilder as you normally would until you get to the section called Specify Additional Options. Here you will have a choice between using a Key Field to add to or update a model or mapping based on the closest matching geometries. Choose the latter option. After clicking Next, you will be in the Field Mapping section. Since you will be using the closest matching geometries, you will not by using the Key Field. Instead, ModelBuilder will look for geometries in the model that match that found in the source file. To add the GIS-ID in the source file to your hydraulic model, map the Label and GIS-ID columns in the source file to the respective property in the hydraulic model. If the element is already in the model, it should match up with the label that you mapped to the hydraulic model. By mapping the GIS-ID, it will also update the element with the proper GIS-ID. If the element is not already in the model, it will be added to it. If you have an older version of the software (the first CONNECT Edition release or a V8i release, you can use the following process to export the labels, do a spatial join, then bring them back in to populate the model. After doing this, you'll be able to synchronize changes on either the model or the GIS without having to change or maintain either labeling system. Note: the screenshots in the below steps may look slightly different in your version, though the general process is the same. You may want to ensure that you have the latest version of the software installed. 1) You will need to first generate a file (shapefile, spreadsheet, etc) relating each WaterGEMS/SewerGEMS element with the corresponding GIS-ID. For example, you could export the WaterGEMS/SewerGEMS elements to shapefiles by creating a new flextable with only the label field, then click the export button in the top left corner. 2) Using your GIS software (such as ArcMap), perform a spatial join and create a table joining the WaterGEMS/SewerGEMS label to the GIS's ID field. If you need assistance with this, please contact your GIS specialist. This table can then be used with Modelbuilder per the below steps, to populate the GIS-ID fields in the model. This will need to be done with each element type (pipe, junction, reservoir, etc), using it's corresponding "GIS-IDs" table type (for example "Pipe, GIS-IDs" for pipes) in Modelbuilder. 3) Start Modelbuilder, choose Excel as the source type and select the spreadsheet. Only check the worksheet containing the data. 4) Click next. No need to create nodes since we’re updating: 5) Click next. We only need to update existing objects: 6) Click next. Key field is label, since we’re just populating the GIS-IDs: 7) Click next. This step is important. The “table type” needs to be set to “Pipe, GIS-IDs”, since the GIS-ID field is a collection. The key field is the field in the spreadsheet with the WaterGEMS labels. Map GIS-ID at the bottom to the GIS-ID field in your spreadsheet. 8) Click next, then finish. The model will now be populated with GIS-IDs. Starting with CONNECT Edition Update 1 of the water and storm-sewer products, you can view the GIS-IDs in the GIS-ID Control Center. All elements in the model are available in the table. The GIS-ID column is a comma delimited field, meaning that multiple GIS-IDs can be entered and viewed here, separated with a comma. ModelBuilder can be used to import the data, which will then appear in the GIS-ID Control Center. If you edit the GIS-ID collection field in the element properties or element FlexTable, the data you enter there will also appear in the GIS-ID Control Center. Go to Tools > GIS-ID Center > GIS-ID Control Center. If an element is deleted from the model and it had a GIS-ID associated with it, you are still able to track these elements and their GIS-IDs. A separate GIS-ID Control Center for Deleted Elements has also been included. This will allow you to track the GIS-IDs used in a given model, even for elements no longer present. Updating a model with GIS-ID's The following are the steps to take to update existing GIS-IDs. For example adding prefixes or changing the GIS-ID completely. See also: Updating GIS-IDs with a new ID system such as GlobalID 1) Create an excel spread sheet with a column titled "Label" and another column titled "GIS-ID" 2) With your model file open go to Tools > Modelbuilder and create a new Modelbuilder run by clicking the icon that looks like a white sheet of paper 3) For the datasource type on step one of Modelbuilder select "Excel 2013/2010/2007 (12.0)" and choose the spread sheet location you created in step 1 above 4) Click next until you get to step 5 of modlebuilder, which is the field mapping step. Set the table type to " , GIS-IDs" and the 'Key Fields' to "Label". For example, if you were exporting your Pipe GIS-IDs your table type would be "PIpe, GIS-IDs" and If you were doing it for junctions the table type would be "Junction, GIS-IDs". In the lower part of this dialog box match the GIS-ID field from your excel spreadsheet to the GIS-ID property. Please see the screen shot below for this setup. 5) Proceed to the last screen of Modelbuilder by hitting the "Next button" and for the question that asks "Do if you want to build a model now?" choose "No" and click the "Finish" button. 6) On the Modelbuilder manager window click the sync out button (see screen shot below) to export the GIS-IDs from your model to your spreadsheet. 7) Open the spreadsheet and adjust the GIS-ID's appropriately then save and close it. 8) Open the modelbuilder window and click the "Build model" button See Also Building and updating a model using ModelBuilder Expected workflows when keeping a model in sync with GIS Updating GIS-IDs with a new ID system such as GlobalID

I concur that this is likely related to your video hardware. You might also want to update your mouse driver, or temporarily try another spare mouse to help narrow down the cause. If that does not help, it could be due to display-related Windows settings. These will depend on your exact Operating Systems (Windows 7, 8, 10, etc), but here are two other wiki articles that mention adjustment of the Operating System scaling/DPI settings: Profile Print Preview is cut off or does not display the profile List of scenarios not appearing directly below the Scenario dropdown
