Re: #2 - If you're asking if there's a way to enter data for multiple elements at once, then there are a few things worth mentioning. First, if you have data in an external file, you can import it using Modelbuilder. Here are a few resources on Modelbuilder beyond the Help topic: Importing a CAD Drawing Using Modelbuilder Building A Model Using Model Builder It's also worth mentioning catalogs, seed files, prototypes and global editing. Catalog such as the Conduit Catalog (Components Menu) allow you to import company standard items (such as pipe sizes/shapes/materials for the conduit catalog) from an engineering library. This makes it easier to set up some reusable items. You can set up these things (and more) ahead of time and save to a Seed file (File > Seed), allowing you to start future models with all the standard already loaded. With catalogs configured with your standards, you can set up element prototypes (View > Prototypes) to pre-configure newly laid out element properties. For example you can set up a conduit protype which sets the type to catalog conduit, sets the conduit class to one from your standard conduit catalog, sets the shape and initial size. That minimizes what you need to change after inserting or importing model elements. We'll be posting a video on this subject to the Hydraulics and Hydrology Blog within the next month, as part of our new Hydraulics and Hydrology Video Series . You can also perform global edits in flextables to bulk-edit properties. For example if you want to set the Rational C of a large collection of catchments to the same value, you can do that. In a flextable. For more details, see How can I globally edit certain elements in a FlexTable such as from a selection set?
