Communities Search You can now go to our Be Communities website by going to Help > Bentley Communities. Once there you can do a search for the topic your are working on. Click here to go to a support solution that explains how to search for content. RSS Feeds in StormCAD Standalone Once you have been on the Be Communities website and created an account, you can sign up for RSS Feeds. On the Be Communities website, log in, then scroll down to the bottom and you will see, under Social Media, RSS Feed. Once you have signed up for the RSS Feed and chosen the subjects for your feed, when in StormCAD, you can go to Help > RSS Feeds to see a list of the wikis and/or forums on your feed. Note: You must have created a new project or have an existing project open in order to do this. After you select RSS Feed a box will open with your feeds. You can do a search by typing a search term in the search bar, or you can do a filter by clicking on the filter button. If you click on the settings button in the upper right corner, a dialog box will pop up. Here you can select a product's feed. Taps and Laterals Taps and laterals have been added to StormCAD V8i SS5. You can now add a catch basin with a lateral that taps into a main pipe without splitting the pipe. You have the option to choose whether to connect the lateral to a pipe. As show below, Tap-2 is on pipe P-PL2 without a split. MicroDrainage Import In StormCAD, you can now import MicroDrainage files. This will create a new project. The files types that can be imported are .sws, .ews, and .fws. Visual Changes to Flex Tables Some visual changes have been made to the flex tables. Check boxes are now shadowed. The text in boxes is spaced a little more and is much easier to read. Visual Changes to Help Documents The help documentation has visual changes that were made. In the past, the Index could not be used, but this is now functioning correctly. Improvements to HEC-22 3rd Edition Calculations Improvements were made to the GVF-Rational and GVF-Convex solvers on how junction losses were calculated. Improvements were also made to the calculations for near plunging conditions. Terrain Model in Profile View You can now view the terrain ground line (from an active terrain model) on profiles. Tap Locations In Profile View You can now view taps in a profile. They are shown as a circle on the profile. .
