A few things, which will be improvements:
Allow TAB-R switching between arcs, just like other nozzle series.
Allow E and Q switching between nozzle types/sizes.
For example: Use TAB and R to switch between the 3Q-3H-3F series, then "E" on up to strip series, and TAB-R between the 3-EST and 3-CST nozzles. You get the idea. If it works that way.
Show the spray patterns of the strip nozzles as rectangles or bow-ties instead of circles. We'll need a little more info from Rain Bird to find out the true dimensions/shape of these strip patterns. I'm guessing they're 3' wide by 6' long (for the CST).
Call them something other than "drip emitter" in the valve schedule, since these aren't precisely drip emitters. And since for the project I'm working on, the Owners absolutely want no drip products at all. Though I assume I can change that in the schedule manually somehow. "Micro spray" might be generic enough to catch all the other products out there..
Thanks!

The toggling of the nozzles is a good point. It should already be that way, I'll look into why it is not.
It looks like the strips, SQ, and TRI nozzles are not correctly set, hence why they are all coming in as just full circles.
We'll get those fixed.
A lot of different nozzles would best be represented by a bow-tie, but currently we can only do partial circles or rectangles. The various stream sprays are even more challenging, so of course at some point we might need to expand on it.

Thanks, Jake. But I just heard that Rain Bird will be discontinuing the NT series. I've got to pull them out my current project because there won't be any maintenance support for them in the future.
Too bad, because the market needs something for those sub-5' areas, where drip is not an option.

Haha, yeah. I have been hearing rumors of that one but the people at Rain Bird I talked with were optimistic it would stay, guess not. The NT are super nice for those little areas and even on the same line as drip for additional coverage spots of color. It is too bad, but glad I got it fixed in time for removal!
