Entered TLCV4-18 Netafim as drip area. Then entered TLCV4-18 Netafim as dripline. Only the drip area item shows up in the available product list, however when I try to add the dripline again it appears that my original is existing: https://www.screencast.com/t/P2nMttfQw
When I go to draft however, both options are showing/functional: https://www.screencast.com/t/H5ekMK6Ev8Qp
Thanks,

Julie,
In your Irrigation Manager, you will need to select either "Area for Dripline" or "Dripline" in the dropdown box -- then you can edit that one, and change its name to be unique.
A future update will do this automatically when adding the second one to the project.

Solved...
Outer boundary was a closed polyline but with a small extra polyline hanging out from the "inner" area...
Always double check for some extra vertex spoiling the "plolyline flow"

HI,
I have a probelm detecting "dry islands" when placing area for dipline .
1. checked if polyline is closed - and it is
2. Place area for dipline
3. M (for multiple)
4. Select outer boundary- selected
5. F/X immidiatelly places dripline hatch all over inside the "outer boundary" , not even trying to ask me for the inner boundary?
Am I doing something wrong or should I just restart FX program?

So glad I'm not going insane... today! Would have never thought about the rounding.
Thanks as always!

Ah sorry, I don't know why I saw that and assumed Area.
Yes, you're right, 2940 (x 12) / 18 = 1960 emitters, @ 0.4gph = 784gph = 13.06gpm.
However the system is calculating it for each individual segment.
So for instance I found one that is 2.34', so that's 28.08" / 18 = 1.56 emitters, which it is then rounding DOWN to 1 emitter.
It absolutely should be rounding it, or always rounding up.
I've flagged it for investigation, we'll get that corrected with a future update.

It's not the area dripline item, it's the linear dripline item. I'm sorry, perhaps there's something I'm missing. Attached my file (ignore the design quality, it was fast for budget purposes only).
I added the TLCV-04-18 to a project as Area for Dripline, and applied it to an area of 4,409 sq.ft.
The schedule shows 2,940 l.f. of dripline, and the Flow Total shows 13.1 gpm for Area for Dripline.

Ok great, I see that now. Not a setting I've ever changed before. Thank you!
Another question: I see the dripline now calculates in the flow totals (so awesome!!!). But the total it kicked out is not what my manual calculations come to. What formula did you use?
I have 2940' of Netafim TLCV-04-18. Flow Totals calculates that equates to 12.4 gpm.
According to the Netafim dripline calculations shown at the back of their catalog:
Number of emitters per zone = (total dripline lf x 12)/emitter spacing inches
# emitters = (2940 x 12)/18 = 1960 emitters
Flow per zone = (# emitters x emitter flow rate gph)/60
Flow per zone = (1960 x .4)/60 = 13.06 gpm
In this example, it's so small a difference it doesn't really matter. But a larger project could be problematic. Just looking for clarification.
Thanks
