Open the drawing Irrigation Symbols in the LandFX/Administration folder. It’s best to print each layout tab of this drawing for a hard copy. Review the families of symbols for spray heads, the rotor symbols, and the equipment.
|
Watch the video on adding irrigation spray heads, rotor heads, valves, and auxiliary equipment to a project.
Do This:
Watch the video on reviewing the Source Data and Pipe Data that will effect the calculations of the irrigation system. Read the Topic.
Do This:
|
§
|
Go to pipe data to view the different options for types of lateral and mainline pipe, and the data slider options that control the how the pipes are sized.
|
Watch the video on placing spray and rotor heads into a drawing.
Do This:
|
§
|
Open the drawing 1.01 Base Drawing. Open your project, or a project such as Tutorial 1 which has some irrigation equipment in it.
|
Watch the video on circuiting the irrigation heads into zones for each valve.
Do This:
|
§
|
Open the drawing 3.01 Heads. Use the Circuit function get a Flow Total of the project, and click to place this somewhere in the drawing. It does not really matter where in the drawing you place it, as this is for your use only.
|
Watch the video on placing a P.O.C. (point of connection), quick couplers, remote control valves, and connecting them with a mainline layout.
Do This:
|
§
|
Place some remote control valves where they may go to feed a group of heads. You may wish to turn back on the layer LI-HEAD-ZONE to see the grouping of heads. Save this drawing as desired for further sessions.
|
Watch the video on drawing lateral line to spray and rotor heads, and using error checking to see if all heads are connected to a valve.
Do This:
|
§
|
Open the drawing 3.02 Zones, or the drawing you saved from the previous session. Turn off the LI-HEAD-ZONE and the LI-PIPE-MAIN-NPLT layers and draw lateral pipe between a group of heads, and connect to a valve.
|
|
§
|
Use the Highlight Station function while piping heads to see if the heads are indeed correctly connected. Absolutely use this function after piping to a valve to see if all of the heads that you think are connected to the valve are, in fact, connected correctly.
|
|
§
|
Open the drawing 3.03 Verify Piping and select the Verify Laterals function. The heads not connected to a valve are circled in yellow. Pipe those heads to a system and run the function again. Save this drawing as desired for further sessions.
|
Watch the video on pipe lateral pipe sizing criteria and sizing the lateral pipe.
Do This:

§
|
Click on the Size Lateral function and use the pickbox to select a valve. Enter elevation information if you wish (which will increase the pressure requirements for elevation changes), or simply leave those as “0”.
