Gravity storm-drain design, drawn in Open CAD Studio.

Before you buy: the same features are free on the desktop

StormSewer is a separate, free, open-source desktop application from the same author, for Windows, macOS and Linux. It does everything this plugin's Pro tier does — formatted reports, automatic pipe sizing and multi-return-period tables — at no cost, and it writes a submittal PDF as well.

What Pro buys is not doing that work in a second program: your network stays on the Open CAD Studio drawing, as drawing entities, and the report comes out of the same session. If your drawing already lives in Open CAD Studio, that is worth $29 a year. If it does not, take the desktop app and pay nothing — that is a perfectly good answer and it is why the link above is here.
