Irrigation System Warnings
Irrigation System WarningsAs irrigation components are added to the design, the Vectorworks Landmark software verifies their connection to the irrigation network, and checks the stated catalog requirements to see if the product specifications are being met. If not, an error is generated. A warning icon appears in the drawing for the selected components with an issue, and in the Object Info palette, red text indicates the nature of the problem.
To see warning icons for more than one selected object at a time, the Unrestricted Interactive Scaling mode of the Selection tool must be enabled.
The following warnings can be generated:
Warning |
Description |

Exceeds Max Catalog Flow |
The object’s flow rate, either from design or calculated information, exceeds the specified maximum flow rate |
|
Exceeds Max Catalog Pressure |
The object’s pressure, either from design or calculated information, exceeds the specified maximum pressure |
|
Exceeds Max Line Length at Pressure |
The drip line is too long for the supplied pressure |
|
Excessive Velocity |
The pipe’s velocity, either from design or calculated information, exceeds the maximum velocity specified in the irrigation settings |
|
Object Not Connected to Network |

An inappropriate object, such as an outlet, is present on the main line |
|
Under Min Catalog Flow |
The object’s flow rate, either from design or calculated information, is below the specified minimum flow rate |
|
Under Min Catalog Pressure |
The object’s pressure, either from design or calculated information, is below the specified minimum pressure |
A system under development may have several warnings; if the warning icons become distracting, select Landmark > Irrigation > Hide Warning Icons. To display the icons again, select Landmark > Irrigation > Show Warning Icons.
To easily identify which irrigation system components have a warning, select Landmark > Irrigation > Select Components with Warnings.
