Manually setting HGL Hydraflow

I've used Hydraflow many times before, and was allowed to manually set the starting HGL to match the peak pond stage for the pond that the conveyance discharged to.  Now, however, I can't get the model to accept a manually entered starting HGL.  It lets me enter a number in the dialog box, but always lowers it back down to one of the other options, (crown, critical, etc.), when running.  Am I doing something wrong?  I know it will reset if you try to use too low a starting HGL, but I'm trying to set it up high to model the expected tailwater.

 

Any help is tremendously appreciated, even if just to point out something stupid I've done!  Current version is whatever comes with C3D 2016.

I just ran the program from a different machine, one that hadn't been updated for several weeks, and it allowed me to adjust the HGL as expected.  The other computer is running C3D 2016 as well, I just hadn't gotten around to applying the updates to it for a while.  Interestingly, the version of Hydraflow reported in each is 10.5.

I just created a simple storm system in 2016 and set the HGL elevation and it worked fine. Maybe try a repair. Can you post an image of hte Compute System dialog box?

Thanks for the response.  I've got it to run.  I don't understand why, but if I set the HGL manually, I must use a decimal point in order for it to "take".  In other words, if I just entered 146 into the dialog box, the program reset it to crown, or critical, or one of the other, last-used pre-set values.  If, however, I set the HGL to 146.00, it accepted it.   I hate that it took me so long to figure that out.

Thank you so much for posting this solution.  This has been driving me insane lately and it was as simple as adding a decimal point.
