1. Upon upgrading to CWMS 3.2.1 and FIA 3.2, it is good practice to ensure the model linking for FIA is set in base.

  2. Additional data checks have been added to FIA 3.2 to make users aware of data gaps. A common data issue among older FIA models is missing damage function data for particular Occupancy Types. To fix the missing damage functions, a user can import and assign the default Occupancy Types to the missing ones. 

  3. Only one FIA alternative can viewed in FIA per forecast run. This is because an FIA simulation is created for each FIA alternative in the forecast run and given the name of the forecast. When two alternative exist the first simulation is overwritten by the second upon compute because the simulation names are identical. However, results for this first simulation can still be viewed from the CAVI Reports buttons. 

  4. FIA is having trouble displaying some map layers in map panels when viewing in the Web Coordinate System. If map layers do not appear, or are being projected to the wrong location, change the View settings to display in the Watershed Coordinate System.


  5. New error checks notify users about missing damage curves for structures. If receive the errors below in the compute dialog, see this discourse post to resolve
