These release notes describe the new feature improvements for InfoDrainage 2020.2.
### [InfoDrainage for Civil 3D®](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417668)
Plugin for Civil 3D® 2019, 2020, and 2021 allowing import and export of InfoDrainage files within Civil 3D®. This converts InfoDrainage data to and from Civil3D® objects via a parts mapping manager and offers the following benefits:
- Enables better use of Civil 3D® data, streamlining workflows, reducing laborious data entry to provide an efficient drainage design workflow.
- By using parts mapping, this enables faster 3D object representation as required for BIM compliance.
- Once parts mapping is set up, import/export remembers InfoDrainage data ensuring round tripping maintains information when multiple iterations are required.
- Stormwater controls (SuDS structures) are accurately represented in the surface as laid out on plan in InfoDrainage.
- Further design iterations within Civil 3D are minimised by maintaining correct connection, inlet and outlet locations from the graphical plan layout in InfoDrainage.
> ℹ️ **Installation and Licensing**
> ℹ️
> ℹ️ - This interface is an optional component so is provided as a separate installer that can be installed as required. Refer to [Installing InfoDrainage for Civil 3D®](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=16416772) for installation instructions.
> ℹ️ - Access to InfoDrainage for Civil 3D® is only available at the Advanced Tier and above. You can find more information on [InfoDrainage Tiers](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417690) or by contacting your account manager.
### [Audit Reports](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417747)
Create audit reports to check properties of the design and results against a range of criteria. Audits can trigger additional analysis or validate and report missing data required to complete the audit.
- Aids designers and reviewers by collating data required to demonstrate compliance with local regulatory requirements.
- Customizable and stored templates reduce the need to re-enter data and allow quicker submission to multiple authorities with differing requirements.
- If all data and results exist, there is no need for additional analysis.
- Validation and failure review forms allow you to quickly find where improvements are needed in the design to ensure approval is granted quickly.
### [Properties](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417734)
Show details of the currently selected item(s) alongside the Plan view allowing values to be changed without visiting the detailed data forms.
- Streamlined views and editing capability without needing to open detailed data forms.
- Much easier to update multiple values at once rather than visiting each data form or using Tables.
- Multiple view options enables user to choose which they find quicker to use.
- Provides familiar view and edit options to CAD and MicroDrainage users.
### [Connection Losses](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417220)
Entry and Exit Losses added to connections.
- Enables head loss coefficients to be set for more accurate analysis of connections.
- Can be automatically set to meet audit requirements using Review Failures on Audit Report.
### [Numbering Scheme](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417127)
Allows numbering of connections or junctions along a flow path, including incoming branch lines. Start number, prefix and postfix can be set.
- Saves time manual renumbering of connections and junctions.
- Support for dendritic numbers enables matching against MicroDrainage numbering convention.
### Safety Factor (UK Region only)
Reduces the Infiltration Rate during analysis by dividing it by the safety factor, which enables compliance with UK regulation.
### [Rural Runoff Calculator](https://help-innovyze.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/infodrainage2020v2/pages/16417504) Improvements (UK Region only)
Redesigned form with additional methods to enable compliance with the latest UK regulatory requirements.
- Addition of ReFH2 method for calculating greenfield rates and volumes.
- Update of FEH QMED equation to 2008 version.
- Redesign of form to support minimum screen resolutions.
