      In the component properties area under Material, settings for determining the material for the pre-wall elements are specified.
  - Construction stages
    You can divide a drawing into construction stages so that you can later create a material extract according to construction stages.
  - Component properties
    In the Edit and Calculate work perspective, your selection in the drawing is highlighted in colour. Section properties and component properties can be displayed and edited differently from the global project settings.
  - Component filter
    The component filter allows you to quickly filter the selected components in the drawing.
  - Drainage areas
    The Drainage areas window in the Drainage section is divided into two tabs.
  - Find function
    CALHYDRA has a parameterised search function that supports you when searching for drawn sections and components in the drawing and when selecting products.

Calculation flow rates (drinking water design options)

In the Calculation flow rates area under Recording, select whether the calculation flow rate from the reference values of DIN 1988-300 or from the stored manufacturer's specifications is used for the design.

Make the settings for the calculation flow rates and discharge times.

Activate the Reference values DIN 1988-300 radio button if you want to use the reference values from DIN 1988-300 for the calculation.
Activate the Manufacturer specifications radio button if the calculation flow rate is to be calculated according to the manufacturer's specifications.
Important:
If the manufacturer's specification of the calculation flow rate is greater than the stored reference value from DIN 1988-300, the calculation flow rates are calculated according to the manufacturer's specification regardless of the activated option.
If the manufacturer's specification of the calculation flow rate is less than the stored reference value from DIN 1988-300, the reference values according to DIN 1988-300 are used for the calculation if the "DIN 1988-300 reference values" option is activated.
If the manufacturer's specification of the calculation flow rate is less than the stored reference value from DIN 1988-300, the calculation flow rates are calculated according to the manufacturer's specifications if the "Manufacturer's specifications" option is activated.
