Drip Line
Draw a dripline as a dedicated path object and record emitter spacing, flow per emitter, zone, and installation in the Inspector.
Drip LineA Dripline is a path with emitter spacing and per-emitter flow. The Inspector can derive its emitter count and total demand from the available run length. This quantity estimate is separate from a pressure-network simulation.
Draw a dripline
Open Water → Distribution → Dripline. Click at least two route points and finish with Enter or a double-click. Trace the intended tubing route at project scale.
Set emitter properties
Select the route and open Path properties. Set Emitter Spacing and Flow/Emitter from the intended product specification. Length and flow units follow metric or imperial settings. Set Zone to cross-reference the intended circuit.
Record the installation
Choose Installation → Surface, Buried or Mulch Covered. These document the route’s installation type; they do not establish watering adequacy.
Read the demand
The Dripline summary reports available length, emitter count and Total Demand. Configure spacing and per-emitter flow first. If the terrain length cannot be measured exactly, the app reports the quantity as unavailable instead of supplying a fabricated demand. Demand is shown in L/h or gph.
Review and revise
Check the drawn route, product inputs and intended zone. Undo reverses recorded changes. A calculated emitter demand does not guarantee sufficient pressure or uniform irrigation.
