Bioretention Underdrain Slope / Additional layer Options

Also, we sometimes have to place the underdrains in a trench below the storage layer and has a different square footage from the bioretention bed. It would be helpful if we can add in additional layers into the bioretention filtration layers tab with individual square footages for each layer.

    I did find that it is possible to force the underdain slope if you add a longitudinal slope to the bioretention, however in this specific design we do not have a longitudinal slope, but would need one for the underdrain to be
