Long-sections: Centre Geoplan on the selected link
It would be handy if the Geoplan centred on the selected link when selecting a long section. It seems every time select a long-section the windows split into two halves, one for the geoplan, the other for the long-section. As a result the link I just selected is seldom visible in the geoplan frame, meaning I have to manually re-center the geoplan before I can carry on selecting links for the long section.

bottom opening
Beside an upstanding vertical orrifice, it would be practical to be able to implement horizontal 'bottom holes' from one node to an underlaying node. e.g when a ditch can drain to an underlying conduit by means of a bottom opening. This might be a more straight forward implementation then the weir circumference workround method which is now often used. if possible both circular and rectangular.

As a user I need to represent and optimise for throttled discharge from subcatchments to node or conduit objects
Many cities are limiting maximum stormwater dicharge to drainage networks.
ICM should include more efficient modelling regarding
- Limiting stormwater flows from subcatchments via throttle requirement (e.g. 0-10 l/s*ha subcatchment), suggesting a new subcatchment data field.
- And quickly analyse how much stormwater (e.g. 10 m³ ) needs to be managed/retained on each subscatchment site via SUDS such as greenroofs, swales, etc. in order to meet and optimise throttle requirements.2 votes -
Selection List Subtraction
I was looking for a way to subtract one selection list from another. In other words, we would like to remove overlaps between selection sets but it seems there is no way to do that easily in ICM.
It is highly recommended to include this feature for future versions as competitors such as Bentley SewerGEMS have already had this for years now.

Better performance and functionalities of the recycle bin
In a workgroup database, the Recycle Bin today is more a nuisance than a useful feature. When there are too many items in it, it can delay the connection to the database considerably or even make it impossible to connect. The functionalities for selectively restoring or removing items are also very poor. E.g. you cannot select on the user who deleted items, or find the original path in the database where items were deleted from. The only real use is when you accidentally delete something and restore it immediately, but then maybe a personalised recycle bin which only exists during…

Model results as TVD connectors
We'd like to have model results as an input in the TVD connectors. An example is where we have observed flows that we would like to use at a tributary and then switch to catchment flows when the observations run out. We know this can be done using a set up of sluices and dummy objects but it would be a lot more elegant to simply have the subcatchment as Input B. I'm sure there are plenty of other examples of where using model results as an input would be useful.

Consistent SHP Export Data Fields for 2D mesh elements in ICM
A simulation result can be exported to SHP files by right clicking the icon and choosing the Export menu. When the result is exported for a specific timestamp, some underlying data fields are not exported such as the elevation and area of a 2D element. When we need such data fields, the maximum state should be exported.
We wanted to investigate the ground levels of 2D meshes in my model, and were a bit confused to find the data was not included, as the export was done for the peak of a rainfall. Contacting the support team, we learned that…3 votes -
Attach Model documentation to Db
be able to attach documents, model user guide, MBV etc so key documentation in one place. Similar to InfoAsset

TSDBs to produce logs of SQL queries
This is important to assist troubleshooting issues related with TSDB performance during implementation and maintenance of TSDBs. The log should include the exact queries produced by their streams when data is updated.

Storage area polygons
Storage nodes often represent detention basins or other locations with large areas. Pipes enter/leave from opposite sides. With the standard link/node configuration, one or more link will be mis-configured compared to the actual location.
I have long wanted to have a storage area polygon, with links connecting to the nearest edge, rather than the center.
6 votesGreat ideas! The goal is the simplify the physical location to either measured (as-built) or designed locations of pond outfalls, while either logically enforcing the relationship of outfalls to pond/outlet without forced links that do not represent physical pipes.

More gems available ICM Exchange that allow for a better user interface (shoes, tk, RubyFX, etc.)
I would like more gems to be available within ICM Exchange that allow for a better end-user experience with ICM Exchange (not command line prompts). The specific gems I would reccomend are shoes, tk, and RubyFX - or any other gems that have applications for user interface

ICM Status bar to show more significant figures
The status bar currently only displays levels (ground model level, water depth) to 1 decimal place. 2 Decimal places would be much more useful, Especially to ensure a node is at a low point or in the gutter invert..

And sub-grid sampling visualizations, please :)

Infoworks ICM- Sewage Temperature Modelling and Heat Losses
The following features should be added to Infoworks ICM for modelling temperature impacts for Heat extraction or heat insertion projects:
- Sewage temperature to be added in WWG file as a pollutograph parameter and can also be defined in a diurnal pattern to consider trade temperature profiles
- I&I temperatures can be extra entered
- Linear heat losses can be defined for standard pipe configurations towards an equilibrium temperature
- Temperature mixing at each node, based on WQ simulation engine
- Heat extraction or insertion possible at any model node10 votes -
Run a SQL Query that requires sim and sim2 to be active from ICM Exchange
I would like to run a SQL query from ICM Exchange that requires two simulations to be active. I would like to be able to call multiple simulations simultaneously from Exchange.

Allow user to set number format in ICM grid windows
It would be great if a user could set number formats in InfoWorks ICM grid windows. For example, we are calibrating a large diameter pipeline by adjusting Manning's n values. We are using 5 digits after the decimal place, but ICM only shows 4 digits. When I copy from the grid, it only copies 4 digits after the decimal. So I have to use a csv export to see the actual values. Or at least set Manning's n values to 5 digits after the decimal place.

Add Date Properties to Scenario Objects (Ruby)
This would add a
date_createdordate_last_committedfield to Scenario Objects in theWSApplication.current_network.It could be used to delete (or archive) old scenarios.
For example, this would allow users to write a ruby script that can loop through and delete any scenarios greater than 3 years old.

Calculating volume storage on river reaches
In the application of ICM, we often count the regulation volume of river channels.But at the moment we can only calculatethe total available volume of channels/river reaches between two cross sections by using length and cross sectional areas.If the number of river sections is very large in the model,it will take a lot of time and effort to accomplish this work. It would be great to have the tool to calculate volume storage on river reaches automatically.

Get the elapsed time of the simulation in ICM Exchange
It is not possible to get the information of the Job Control window with the current ICM Exchange, but it would be very useful to be able to create a dashboard using ICM Exchange to manage simulations and coordinators.
