&lt;!--–– end of Bentley header ––--&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Problem description&lt;/h2&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the above mentioned versions, the &lt;em&gt;Custom level&lt;/em&gt; water condition for the &lt;em&gt;InitialPhase&lt;/em&gt; on a loaded project may be reset to &lt;em&gt;Global &lt;/em&gt;when switching from Green (mesh/flow conditions/ staged construction) to Blue modes (soil/structures) and back again.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;span class="styles file-styles large" id="styles-8-0"&gt; &lt;img class="media-image" id="1" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-05/issue_5F00_24031_5F00_custom.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The water conditions will be reset to “&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Global&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;” condition for this option. This issue &lt;u&gt;only happens&lt;/u&gt; for the “&lt;em&gt;Custom level&lt;/em&gt;” option condition &lt;u&gt;after (re)loading&lt;/u&gt; the Plaxis file if the cluster’s water condition is set to &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Custom waterlevel&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt; for the &lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;InitialPhase&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
 
&lt;h2&gt;Solution&lt;/h2&gt;
 
&lt;p&gt;This issue is now solved in &lt;strong&gt;PLAXIS 2D 2016&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to avoid this issue in PLAXIS 2D 2015 or earlier, you could use as an alternative the &amp;quot;&lt;em&gt;Head&lt;/em&gt;&amp;quot; option instead of this “&lt;em&gt;Custom level&lt;/em&gt;” option by specifying a reference head level. In this case, the pore pressures will be generated according to the specified head.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="text-align:center;"&gt;&lt;span class="styles file-styles large" id="styles-2-0"&gt; &lt;img class="media-image" id="1" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-05/issue_5F00_24031_5F00_head.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The model water conditions for all phases can be reviewed with:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Individual check of the Water Conditions in the selection explorer for each polygon;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Visualization of Water Conditions for all polygons in &lt;em&gt;Flow conditions&lt;/em&gt; mode: the Custom waterlevel setting is visualized in a slightly lighter blue: &lt;span class="styles file-styles large" id="styles-3-0"&gt; &lt;img class="media-image" id="1" src="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-05/issue_5F00_24031_5F00_waterlevelinspection.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the use of the &lt;em&gt;echo&lt;/em&gt; command for the polygon of interest, for example:
&lt;pre style="background:#F4F4F4;color:#000;font-family:consolas, courier new;line-height:95%;border:1px solid #F4F4F4;padding:10px;padding-bottom:20px;margin:10px;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;BoreholePolygon_1_1.Soil.WaterConditions.Conditions&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;echo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;Polygon_1_1.Soil.WaterConditions.Conditions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the use of the &lt;em&gt;tabulate&lt;/em&gt; command for the polygon of interest, for example:
&lt;pre style="background:#F4F4F4;color:#000;font-family:consolas, courier new;line-height:95%;border:1px solid #F4F4F4;padding:10px;padding-bottom:20px;margin:10px;white-space:pre-wrap;"&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;tabulate&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;SoilPolygons&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:blue;font-style:italic;"&gt;&amp;quot;Soil.WaterConditions.Conditions&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;tabulate&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:navy;"&gt;Polygons&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color:blue;font-style:italic;"&gt;&amp;quot;Soil.WaterConditions.Conditions&amp;quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
