Once you have set up a modeling project, you can add features such as pumps pipes
00:09
and even treatment plants to the system and digitize them.

In this lesson,
00:14
you will configure the project settings in preparation of
00:17
digitizing pump stations and a reservoir in the model

00:56
auto length calculation
00:58
so that any newly drawn pipes will automatically be populated with length,
01:03
auto record saving. So that edits do not need to be saved for each edit,
01:09
auto database packing.
01:10
So that ids of features that are deleted can be immediately reused.
