Irrigation - Turn Off Automatic Irrigation Network Update

[samgbickel 2]

Is there a way to turn off the  automatic irrigation network update that occurs at every pipe connection? The disruption to workflow with having to wait 5-10 seconds after every single lateral pipe placement is getting to be quite tedious on larger irrigation plans. I cannot find any setting to disable this feature.

I would much prefer to lay out the lateral lines of a zone and calculate the pipes after I have everything laid out. I do not know if this is an issue with my personal workflow, which is as follows (short version):

1. POC Setup

2. Mainline Run

3. Design Zones

3. Head Placement

4. Lateral Line Placement

5. Valve Cluster Placement

 

Should I be approaching my irrigation drafting in a different order? Can I just turn off calculations until I am ready for them?

 

Thank you.

Hi,

as far as I know there is no option to turn that of but it looks that somene forgot about it... because there is an option to force manual recalculation...

My workflow goes like this:

1. POC Setup - if flow & pressure were mesured

2. Head Placement

3. Design Zones - helps to split zones into valve sections

4. Lateral Line Placement

2. Mainline Run

5. Valve Cluster Placement

6. POC Setup - if flow & pressure is going to be set by the design
