SEDITNETWORK

The command SEDITNETWORK creates devices in a device network.

To use, call SEDITNETWORK from the command line, menu, toolbar, context menu, Ribbon or the corresponding network node:

An edit bar will appear:

It has the following buttons:

• Surface - To change the reference surface of inserted devices after editing this property
• Excavation Surface - To change the excavation surface of inserted devices after editing this property
• Alignment - To change the reference alignment of inserted devices after editing this property
• Profile - To change the reference profile of devices inserted after editing this property
• Consumption Sector - Associates the created pipe with a Consumption Sector. Applies to sewer and water
networks
• Materials List - Changes the Materials List associated with the network
• Draw Point - Draws only point device
• Point by Blocks - Converts selected blocks to point devices
• Point by Polyline - Inserts point devices at the vertices of polylines
• Draw Linear - Draw only linear or longitudinal device
• Linear by Polyline - Converts lines and polylines to linear or longitudinal devices
• Longitudinal by Alignment - Creates and associates a longitudinal device to an alignment/profile
• Draw Both - Draw connected point and linear devices

When drawing the devices, the program considers that you want to connect one device to another, so it will capture the connection points of the devices. In the image below, magenta cubes mark the connection points of a device:

In plan view, they appear when there is an active insert device command:

These connection points will be used to reposition the devices linear or longitudinal dragging point devices.

If any device is disconnected when it should be, select it and drag the grippoint over the one where it should be connected. The connection icon will appear. Drop the selected device onto it.

Note: Not every device can be added to a given network. Each network has a set of device types that can be entered:

• Drainage Networks
  • Point Gravity Devices (manhole, connection box, culvert)
  • Linear Gravity Devices (pipes, galleries, descents, stairs)
  • Longitudinal Gravity Devices (channels, gutters)
• Sewage Networks
  • Point Gravity Devices (manhole, connection box, inspection terminal)
  • Linear Gravity Devices (tubes)
• Pressure Networks
  • Pressurized connections (bend, tee, crosspiece, tank, reservoir)
  • Pressurized Linear Devices (pipes, valves, pumps)

Note: Device networks that are external reference, can only edit styles for labels and device projections.

If you need to rename, or otherwise edit, do so on the source file.

Note: To be able to Use this command, a license is required. Otherwise, you will only be able to view the network.
