AutoPIPE New User Guide [TN]
Soil Identifiers are Templates from Model to Model
Like Pipe Identifiers, Soil Identifiers can be a template and used over and over again in the model without having to re-define the properties. Use the new Soil and Soil ID grid to check and make changes to global soil properties quickly.
