Clicking the New button opens a submenu containing the following commands: Add Unit Load to Element—Adds a new Unit Load to the element currently selected in the list pane. Add Sanitary Hydrograph to Element—Adds a new sanitary hydrograph to the element currently selected in the list pane. Add Pattern Load to Element—Adds a new pattern load to the element currently selected in the list pane.

After an element has been selected, the Apply Sanitary Load to Selection dialog opens, allowing you to enter a Sanitary Hydrograph, Unit Load, or Pattern Load to the element you selected. Initialize Unit Loads for All Elements—Adds a Unit Load to each element of the current type in the model that does not currently have an inflow defined. The loads added by this command have an initial value of 0.0. Initialize Hydrograph Loads for All Elements—Adds a Hydrograph Load to each element of the current type in the model that does not currently have an inflow defined. The hydrographs added by this command are initially blank. Initialize Pattern Load for All Elements—Adds a Pattern Load to each element of the current type in the model that does not currently have an inflow defined. The loads added by this command have an initial value of 0.0. Initialize Unit Loads for Selection—Adds a Unit Load to each element that is currently selected in the list pane that does not currently have an inflow defined. The loads added by this command have an initial value of 0.0. Initialize Hydrograph Load for Selection—Adds a Hydrograph Load to each element that is currently selected in the list pane that does not currently have an inflow defined. The hydrographs added by this command are initially blank. Initialize Pattern Load for Selection—Adds a Pattern Load to each element that is currently selected in the list pane that does not currently have an inflow defined.The loads added by this command have an initial value of 0.0. Import Hydrographs —Import comma delimited hydrograph data into the model (see Importing Hydrograph Data).
Note: You can only use one type of Initialize operation for any given element. For example, if you perform an Initialize Hydrograph Loads for All Elements operation, you will not then be able to then perform an Initialize Pattern Load for All Elements on the model.
If you wish to add another load of a different type than the one that was Initialized, you must do so for each individual element.
