4.3 Draw Pipe Network

• Click Pipes → Draw Mainline
• Then Draw Submains & Laterals
• IRRICAD automatically proposes pipe sizes based on flow.

6. Full CAD Environment

Because it is built on a CAD engine, you aren't limited to hydraulic symbols. You can:

• Import background imagery (aerial photos or survey plans) to design accurately over a map.
• Use standard drawing tools to annotate, dimension, and style the plan for client presentation.
• Export drawings easily to DWG or DXF formats for sharing with landscape architects or civil engineers.

Typical workflows

1. Import site base (CAD/GIS) and topography.
2. Define zones, water source(s), and design pressures/criteria.
3. Place sprinklers/emitters from library, arrange laterals and mains.
4. Run hydraulic analysis; auto‑size or manually size pipes.
5. Adjust layout for uniformity, pressure compensation, and constructability.
6. Generate BOM, cost estimate, and construction drawings.
7. Export plans and electronic deliverables; optionally import as‑built data after installation.

What is IRRICAD Pro?

IRRICAD Pro is a comprehensive, computer-aided design (CAD) software specifically developed for the detailed design and management of agricultural, landscape, and golf course irrigation systems. It is widely regarded as the industry standard for professional irrigation engineers and designers. irricad pro

Unlike generic CAD software, IRRICAD Pro automates many of the complex hydraulic calculations and design rules required for efficient irrigation systems. It allows users to design on a digital map or imported drawing, select pipes and sprinklers from built-in manufacturer catalogs, and run sophisticated simulations to ensure the system works as intended before a single pipe is laid.
