select hydrobrakes manually and/or change the flush-flow point

Given the development of "fit to outlet pipes (XP)" and the ability to manually set the Flush-Flow point on other ones, it would be useful to be able to have more flexibility within flow to either manually select a specific hydrobrake or at least ...

Function to add a prefix to node names

Industry wide drainage system manholes are normally named as S1 and F1, can we add a function to add a prefix to the nodes in Flow, avoids the element of human error having to manually name everything. This option is available in microdrainage, it...

CAD Background overlay in Flow for stage 3 coordination of sites

For stage 3 designs that will not require civil 3D or smart tools, would be invaluable to just be able to overlay a basic cad layout into Flow to visualize indicative drainage layouts rather than manually putting in coordinates and hoping it's right.

coordinate entry

user defined section entry is confusing and misleading. "Width" implies overall width of section whereas we are actually required to add coordinates for each side of the section. Relabel the columns, and/or maybe include help link to an example.
