&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from &lt;a title="Bentley SELECTservices" href="https://www.bentley.com/en/support"&gt;Bentley SELECTservices&lt;/a&gt;). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " border="0" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from &lt;a title="Bentley SELECTservices" href="https://www.bentley.com/en/support"&gt;Bentley SELECTservices&lt;/a&gt;). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=" " src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for StormCAD, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Author:&lt;/b&gt; Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product(s):&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Bentley StormCAD &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Version(s):&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;V8i SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 (08.11.03.77)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Author:&lt;/b&gt; Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in the gutter element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;What is the difference between the &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot; property in&amp;nbsp;the gutter vs.&amp;nbsp;catch basin elements?&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is now a boolean property&amp;nbsp;in the gutter element for &amp;quot;Depressed Gutter?&amp;quot;. You might notice that this&amp;nbsp;property is also present in the catch basin properties under the physical section too. When the&amp;nbsp;property is set to &amp;quot;True&amp;quot; in either element the &amp;#39;Gutter Cross Slope&amp;#39; and &amp;#39;Gutter Width&amp;#39; fields are exposed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The difference between these is&amp;nbsp;in gutter element itself these fields define the gutter shape up to the inlet. In the inlet element&amp;nbsp;these fields define the gutter shape just on upstream side of the inlet opening where the spread is highest. The property&amp;nbsp;is included in the inlet because it&amp;#39;s possible the gutter changes slope or&amp;nbsp;shape slighty&amp;nbsp;right&amp;nbsp;before the inlet. &amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- i-model publishing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced element type support including pond and pumps&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Enhanced gutter support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;- Improved Model Management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or by clicking the &amp;lt;Edit Conduit Catalog&amp;gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;option in the pull down area of the &amp;quot;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo; property. This property is only available if the &amp;quot;Cross Section Type&amp;quot; property is set to &amp;#39;Catalog Cross Section&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the &amp;quot;Headloss Method&amp;quot;&amp;nbsp;type&amp;nbsp;field in the Physical(Structure Losses) area of the element properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StormCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Document Type:&lt;/b&gt; TechNote&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product(s):&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Bentley StormCAD &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Version(s):&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;V8i SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 (08.11.03.77)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Author:&lt;/b&gt; Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)unified&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Product(s):&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Bentley StormCAD &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Version(s):&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;V8i SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 (08.11.03.77)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Original Author:&lt;/b&gt; Mark Pachlhofer, Bentley Technical Support Group&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;Overview&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The SELECTseries&amp;nbsp;3 release of&amp;nbsp;StromCAD includes many new features and improvements. Let&amp;#39;s explore each of these in detail.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Unified schema and one common data file format&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-More user control in DXF export&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Keyword search in property grid&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-HEC-22 3rd Edition option for headloss and enhanced inlet calculations&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Support for the Pond element&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Selection based filtering in inflow and sanitary loading control centers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Enhanced element type support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-i-model publishing support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Inlet controlled culvert support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-New Compute Center&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Support for cross section catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Enhanced gravity and pressure element type support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Low Impact Development (LID) Support&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Added support for Automated Design&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Enhanced feature support for gutters&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Support for cross section catalog referencing&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Profile headloss enhancements&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Profiling support for virtual elements and diversions&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Improvements to Calculation Options&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;-Improved model management&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please see this &lt;a title="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1" href="http://link.videoplatform.limelight.com/media/?mediaId=4dd7772200ef4da4ac4bed854b16a255&amp;amp;width=480&amp;amp;height=411&amp;amp;playerForm=6a6b96d1f08d456f81ec5ab10c9f3a24&amp;amp;BPID=8002194&amp;amp;CEID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1&amp;amp;et_cid=82766&amp;amp;et_rid=23934368&amp;amp;et_cc=US&amp;amp;et_lc=EN&amp;amp;SKID=CT_EMAILB_WSG_FU_1"&gt;link&lt;/a&gt; for a video presentation on What&amp;rsquo;s New with SewerGEMS SELECTseries 3 and other Storm and Sanitary products.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Support for Newer Platforms and Operating Systems&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now supports the following:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Windows 8 (32- and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;AutoCAD 2012 and 2013 (32-bit and 64-bit)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MicroStation V8i SELECTseries 3 (build 08.11.09.xx) and SELECTseries 2 (build 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ArcGIS 10 and 10.1&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;ProjectWise V8i (build 08.11.09.xx and 08.11.07.xx)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition, StormCAD now offers support for interoperability with the latest releases of InRoads, GeoPAK, LandXML, and Bentley MX Drainage&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that in order to integate with 64-bit versions of AutoCAD 2012 and 2013, StormCAD will need to be installed as a 64-bit application as well. As with the previous release of SewerGEMS this requires the either the 64-bit version of Microsoft Office be installed or no instance of Microsoft Office installed. MicroStation and ArcGIS are strictly 32-bit applications and do not require this for the integration to complete.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:x-large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Unified Schema and One Common Data File Format&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now uses the&amp;nbsp;file extension &amp;ldquo;.stsw&amp;rdquo; for new projects, and will automatically convert existing projects saved in earlier versions of&amp;nbsp;StormCAD that had used the old file extension (.stc).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to StormCAD projects, users now have the ability to open other Bentley storm and sewer (CivilStom, SewerCAD, SewerGEMS) projects within StormCAD and save them in one common data file format.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4621.StormCAD_5F00_Project_5F00_File_5F00_types.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;Keywork Search in Property Grid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can find the property they want quickly in the property grid using keyword search. To use this function, open the property grid for any element, by either double-clicking on the element or going to View &amp;gt; Properties. The new Property Search field is above the list of element properties. Simply start typing the word you are searching for and the property grid will dynamically filter to show any property field name that contains the phrase entered.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recent searches are stored in the drop down selection. The search term is maintained even when selecting a different element or element type. To clear the selection, click the Clear button beside the drop down.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/7028.property-search.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Selection-based filtering in inflow and sanitary loading control centers&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now filter the Inflow and Sanitary Load Control Centers based on the current selection of node elements. To use this function, highlight the elements you wish to view in the Inflow or Sanitary Load Control Center in the drawing pane. If you have a selection set or query to retrieve these elements, double click it to highlight them. Next, open the Inflow or Sanitary Load Control Center through the Tools pulldown. Select the Options button, then select Filter &amp;gt; Current Selection. Only the highlighted elements will be displayed. You can then perform actions such as global edit on the filtered list.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/2084.current-selection.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More user control in DXF export&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now offers more control over layer/level assignment during DXF export. When you use the Export command, you first specify the drive, directory, and file name of the DXF file to be saved. Then the Export to DXF Layer Settings window opens, allowing you specify the names of the DXF layers on a per-element type basis.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Export to DXF Layer Settings dialog is divided into tabs for Link Layers, Node Layers, and Polygon Layers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3108.dxf-export.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each tab contains a table that allows you to specify a prefix and suffix for the associated DXF layer. The Preview field displays how the label will appear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note that specifying a prefix or suffix also creates new layers for each prefix/suffix. If no prefix or suffix is specified all links, nodes, and polygons will be exported to the same DXF layer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Link Layers tab has additional controls: Entering a value in the Pipe Size Significant Digits field allows you to organize the pipe layer into multiple layers taking the pipe sizes into account using the Layer by Pipe Size checkbox.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;i-model publishing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With the SELECTseries 3 release of StormCAD V8i, you can now publish an i-model. An i-model is &lt;i&gt;an immutable container for rich multi-discipline information published from known sources in a known state at a known time.&lt;/i&gt; Basically it is a portable, read-only copy of a model file that can be viewed by users that do not have StormCAD. The topology as well as the attributes and results (for a particular timestep) can be viewed in MicroStation, ProjectWise Navigator, and Bentley View. Since Bentley View is free, i-models provide a way for anyone to easily view data and results for a StormCAD model file.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under File &amp;gt; Export, you will have a &amp;quot;Publish i-model&amp;quot; option, which requires the i-model publishing engine (downloadable from selectservices.bentley.com). The i-model publishing engine shows as a prerequisite on the download page for SewerGEMS, but is only necessary if you intend to publish i-models. If you have no need to publish i-models, you do not need to download and install this optional component.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8168.imodel.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/8468.mstn.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bentley DTM support in TRex&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to previously supported file formats, the TRex tool in StormCAD now supports the Bentley DTM file format. This is available through the Data Source Type pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/3465.trex.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Multiple numerical solvers under one hood&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Compute Center&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Users can now perform all actions related to model runs through one common location using the Compute Center. This streamlines the process modeling process of changing frequently used calculation options properties, including creating new calculation options. These functions are still available in the Calculations Options properties though.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/0246.STMC_5F00_Compute_5F00_Center.jpg" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Compute Center is docked to the lower left of the drawing pane by default, and is accessible through the Analysis pulldown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced element type support including ponds and pumps&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Elements that were previously unavailable&amp;nbsp;from the other Storm and Sewer programs&amp;nbsp;are now&amp;nbsp;supported for the GVF&amp;nbsp;Rational solver.&amp;nbsp;Pumps are now supported&amp;nbsp;as ideal flow pumps, meaning that flow in will equal flow out&amp;nbsp;and the pump curve is not used in the calculations.&amp;nbsp;Ponds with no control&amp;nbsp;structure will be treated as a&amp;nbsp;junction where&amp;nbsp;flow in will equal flow out. For ponds with&amp;nbsp;control structures the flow&amp;nbsp;out of the pond is&amp;nbsp;determined by the specified pond initial elevation and&amp;nbsp;the hydraulic calculations for the outlet&amp;nbsp;control structure&amp;nbsp;determine the&amp;nbsp;pond outflow. Once the pond outflow is determined it becomes a fixed flow (system additional flow) and all other fixed&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;rational flow elements are terminated at the pond outlet. The new fixed outlet flow&amp;nbsp;is carried on&amp;nbsp;downstream.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All the other storm and sewer&amp;nbsp;numerical solvers, including&amp;nbsp;StormCAD, have the ability to handle all element types, gravity as well as pressure. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note that some limitations apply to certain elements in certain solvers.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Added support for Automated design&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SewerGEMS now offers automated constraint-based design capabilities for sanitary and storm sewers through the use of the GVF-Convex and GVF-Rational solvers. To use automated design, you must set the Active Numerical Solver to either GVF-Convex and GVF-Rational, and set the Calculation Type to &amp;ldquo;Design.&amp;rdquo; More information on automated design and related constraints can be found in the Help documentation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/1447.design.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Enhanced gutter support&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;SewerGEMS now supports new gutter shapes (v-shaped and parabolic gutters) in addition to the gutter shapes previously supported.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also a Gutter Catalog is now available, accessible through the Components pulldown, or in the gutter property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Gutter.&amp;rdquo; This allows for commonly used gutter types to be stored in the Engineering Library, and made available for gutters that may be in other models, similar to the Conduit Catalog. When a gutter from the Gutter Catalog is used, the properties in the catalog entry are used in the model calculations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Support for Cross Section Catalog referencing&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A Cross Section Catalog is now available for use in setting up channel data through the Cross Section property grid. The Conduit Catalog is used for this. Users can assign a catalog cross-section by picking a trapezoidal channel or irregular channel type in the Conduit Catalog. The Conduit Catalog is accessible through either Components pulldown or Cross Section property field &amp;ldquo;Catalog Cross Section.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;HEC-22 3rd Edition headloss&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Node headloss calculations in accordance with HEC-22 3rd Edition are now available in SewerGEMS. To use the third edition calculations, select it from the structure loss type field in the structure properties. Note that the second edition standard is still available.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improvements to calculation options&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Additional calculation options give users the ability to apply global settings in one location and simplifies model setup. SewerGEMS allows user input for the convex coefficient to achieve convex routing improvements.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Improved Model Management&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD&amp;nbsp;offers more flexibility to users in connecting different element types for more ease in laying out a model and morphing of one element type into another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;User notifications have been improved to allow so that modeling errors can be found more quickly and efficiently&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also,&amp;nbsp;StromCAD offers a new category of common graph properties for each element type to enable the user to quickly find and use the most commonly graphed properties.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/6518.graphing.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Flextable field display now has handling for multiple solvers, as not all fields are used for all solvers. Users can now choose to display fields specific to the active numerical solver (default setting) or all fields available in the product.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img border="0" alt="" src="/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Wikis-Components-Files/00-00-00-00-32/4606.flextable.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now handles conflicts in controls better, with improvements to model validation and user notifications.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;StormCAD now allows users to generate profiles for virtual links and diversions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h1&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
