Hi LandFX Community (and probably Jake),
I'm sure that I'm doing something wrong here. I have a Master Valve on our project and of course it has no lateral lines attached. When sizing the pipe I get the notification that the valves not connected to lateral lines are highlighted and I click "continue anyway". No problem (except that I click through not knowing if others may be disconnected after I become used to blowing through it). I can generate a valve schedule (I wish that along with the precipitation rate it would generate the square footage that it used to calculate it, but I understand the difficulties involved with that due to calculations where multiple valves may use the same area for calculating
the Precip. Rate). But when I go to generate the Watering Schedule or Run Time Schedules I get this error: "Valve Unknown has no Precip. Rate. Please size the system to generate a Precip. Rate." And I can't go forward.
Like I said, I figure that I've done something wrong. LandFX should know that if a valve (any type of valve) has a mainline attached to both sides of it, it's a Master Valve or QC, or Air or Water Pressure relief valve, pressure regulating valve and will not have a Precip. Rate. It noticed all of these other valves (of which I'm using all), but not the master valve. What have I done wrong and how can I fix it?

Seaweed,
While your description of this situation is greatly detailed, we are still going to need those files to actually take a look at what might be happening. We are wizards, true, but unfortunately not psychic just yet
. If I had to guess, you might have an exploded schedule with valve symbols there that the system is picking up on, you are using an RCV as a Master Valve but have it listed in the RCV section, or possibly have a valve somewhere you are unaware of that is catching the systems eye?
We even have a great little Knowledge Base (KB) article on the error you are getting. Have you gone through these steps yet? I have provided the link below just in case you have not.
Error: Valve ... Has No Precip Rate (Working With Irrigation Equipment or Pipes, or Placing an Irrigation Schedule)
In any case, just use the Tech support tool to send us all appropriate files and we would be happy to help you out!

Jake,
I knew that I was doing something wrong. I just need you to call me out on it. Good job.
The KB could be updated to include this "you are using an RCV as a Master Valve but have it listed in the RCV section". That was it. I reimported it under the Master Valve section, replaced the other one in the model, resized the mainline (no prompting for valves without lateral lines of course) and now the world is right again. Well, maybe no the whole globe, but this little plan is fine.
Thanks Mr. Wizard!
Have a great weekend!
