    I am attempting to utilize the automated design tool to size storm sewer. I was able to set up my scenario and run the automated design once using the steps outlined in the "StormCAD QuickStart" guide, section 1.2 - Automatic Design. This gave a reasonable…

    Hello Colm, If the Design alternative being used has "Design Conduit?" unchecked for a conduit, then you can manually specify the conduits' physical properties from the Conduit FlexTable. You may need to add the fields "Conduit Type", "Catalog Class…

    Hello Ahmed, These two issues may be related. It sounds like the Conduit Type for one or more conduits may be set to User Defined. In order for a conduit's size and/or inverts to be designed, you must choose Catalog Conduit for the Conduit type. This…
