From time to time I want to manually adjust pipe sizing (after autosizing) but now the only way to do that is to View Data and select each section one at a time and edit. It would be nice to have the ability to select multiple sections and update them all at once. This is mainly for mainline.
The more proper way to do this, is for the system to validate the hydraulics of it.
Which means it is a matter of Velocity, or Demand. You can add a Cap in order to create more demand, or you can slow the Velocity in order to force a larger pipe size.

Yes that is true, but I have found in certain cases it can be tricky when designing with loops. Also from time to time I may want to upsize a section for future expansions. How does LFX handle it when placing a quick coupler say on a baseball field? There is no flow data attached to the QC so adding a cap and and then sizing and then erasing the cap so it won't be in the legend can be cumbersome. Don't get me wrong. I like the auto size function and use it. I would just like to have more flexibility when manually adjusting for my purposes. Admittedly I am still trying to wrap my head around flow zones as well.
