Drain InletsA Drain Inlet marks a point where surface water enters the planned drainage system. Its type and fixture style describe the intended collector.
Place the object
Open the Water Add panel and expand Surface Collection. Choose Drain Inlet, then click its position on the plan. The tool guide also provides Name and Position entry. Press Esc to stop placement.
Edit its properties
Choose Inlet Type → Point Drain or Grate Drain. Fixture Style offers Round Grate, Square Grate, Slot Drain and Trench Grate.
Position and identify it
Use General → Name to identify the object and Location for its position. Length fields follow metric or imperial project settings. Locked objects cannot be edited until unlocked. Changes use drawing history.
Document the route
Draw the appropriate irrigation or drainage pipe route to show the intended arrangement. A nearby symbol alone is not proof of a working connection or a hydraulic calculation. The water tools document a schematic plan; they do not simulate real pressure or flow.
