Water and Irrigation Overview
Overview of the Water tab in the Add Objects panel — irrigation, drainage, and water-feature objects you place on your plan.
Water and Irrigation OverviewThe Water Add panel contains schematic irrigation, drainage and fountain objects. Place individual fittings or draw multi-point runs, then edit their properties. Some geometry-based quantities are calculated, but the system does not simulate real-world pressure or flow.
Open the Water panel
Open Add with Water selected. The sections are Sources & Supply, Emitters & Heads, Distribution, Control, Manual Access, Surface Collection, Conveyance & Discharge, Access & Maintenance and Water Features.
Place points and draw paths
Point objects include Water Source, Sprinkler, valves, inlets and outlets. Click the intended position after choosing a tool. Irrigation Pipe, Dripline, Channel Drain and Drain Pipe are paths: click successive points and finish a valid route with Enter or a double-click.
Edit a selection
Select an object for General, Location and type-specific settings. Runs expose shared fields under Path properties. Fields follow project units where applicable; pressure and flow labels change between metric and imperial units.
Read quantities in context
Sprinklers show modeled coverage; driplines can report emitter demand; drainage runs can report fall. These depend on the entered geometry and available terrain. An unavailable quantity is not a zero or a validated design.
Add a pond when needed
The Water panel’s Pond Fountain is a standalone object. A complete pond is created from Hardscape → Pond using a prepared closed outline and the full-window wizard.
