Irrigation Design

Lay out a complete irrigation plan from the Water tab — from water source through pipes and valves to sprinkler heads.

Irrigation DesignIrrigation Design

Build an irrigation plan from supply fittings, routes, control hardware and watering heads. The app records and displays the arrangement and selected quantities. It does not determine a compliant hydraulic design automatically.

1

Place the supply and hardware

In Water, place Water Source and any required Backflow Preventer, Pressure Regulator or Filter. Use the Inspector to record actual product types, sizes and ratings. Metric pressure/flow uses kPa and L/min; imperial uses psi and gpm.

2

Draw the routes

Choose Irrigation Pipe under Distribution. Draw and finish each route, then set Diameter, Burial and Zone under Path properties. The available pipe sizes are 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50 and 63 mm, displayed with unit-aware labels.

3

Document control

Place Irrigation Valve, Irrigation Controller and Valve Manifold as needed. Record their real offered fields and use consistent zone identifiers on the route objects. The drawing does not itself operate a controller.

4

Specify the watering objects

Place Sprinkler heads and set their fixture, direction, radius, arc and coverage visibility. For a Dripline, set spacing and flow per emitter and inspect available Total Demand. Use the intended product data.

5

Check the resulting plan

Inspect routes, modeled coverage and quantity availability. Resolve unavailable terrain-dependent lengths before interpreting demand. Overlapping sectors and matching zone names do not establish pressure adequacy or real-world watering performance.
