The Reports tab contains screen versions of tabulated reports for which can be printed as hard copies.
Finished reports, which automatically include a print preview, can be printed at any time. This print button is located on the Ribbon menu’s Home tab.
The report that you produce depends on the tab you are currently using.
To print the Plan, Surface or Profile views, you must have their respective tabs active. For example, to print the Profile drawing, you must be currently viewing the Profile drawing. You’ll then see an automatic print preview from which you can send to your printer for hard copies.
The same is true for the Surface and Plan tabs. If on the Reports tab, the current screen report (Standard, HGL, Inlets, Custom1, Custom2) will be printed.
Beware of Outdated Results
Reports may contain outdated data if changes were made after the initial computation, showing information from previous inputs instead of the most recent ones. A notification will appear on the Reports tab and printed reports to notify you of this issue. To guarantee the accuracy of the reports, it is recommended to re-compute them.
What Does NaN Mean?
From time to time, you might come across the term “NaN” in certain columns of your report. NaN stands for “Not a Number” and occurs when a division by zero is performed. Essentially, this indicates that there is no valid solution for that specific variable given the current inputs.
Page Sizes
Once viewing the Print Preview, you’ll have the option of formatting and printing your outputs to Letter (8.5 x 11), Legal (8.5 x 14) or Tabloid (11 x 17) sized pages. This option appears at the top of the Print Preview screen, but is limited to certain types of reports.
- Plan View
- Profile Drawings
- Custom1
- Custom2
Printing to PDF
Stormwater Studio does not provide a “PDF” print option directly but you can certainly employ any of the third-party PDF Printer drivers available on the market. When using these, you may need to turn OFF any image down-sampling and/or JPEG compression in the pdf driver’s printing preferences from the Windows printer settings. This will maximize the quality of the Plan, Surface and Profile drawings.
