Trace Tools

The Trace tools help users quickly visualize information about a sewer, storm, or water network. They trace the desired network and generate a temporary layer in the map. Note that the trace uses the relationships between records to find connected assets instead of using the geometry in the map.

Water

 

Trace Type

  • Isolation Valve - Traces Water Pipes outward from the location the user clicked on and finds the closest Water Isolation Valves.

Required Fields

  • Hydrants Inventory
    • Pipe Number
  • Service Taps
    • Pipe Number
  • System and Control Valve Inventory
    • Pipe Number
    • Isolation Valve (True or False)
  • Water Pipe Records
    • From End Type, From End
    • To End Type, To End
  • Water Meter Locations
    • Pipe Number

Sewer

 

Trace Type

  • Upstream – Traces all Pipes upstream of a selected point.
  • Upstream Distance – Traces all Pipes within a designated distance upstream of a selected point.
  • Upstream Segment - Traces all Pipes within a designated number of segments upstream of a selected point.
  • Downstream - Traces all Pipes downstream of a selected point.
  • Downstream Distance – Traces all Pipes within a designated distance downstream of a selected point.
  • Downstream Segment - Traces all Pipes within a designated number of segments downstream of a selected point.
Required Fields
  • Sewer Pipes
    • US Structure
    • DS Structure

Storm

 

Trace Type

  • Upstream – Traces all Pipes upstream of a selected point.
  • Upstream Distance – Traces all Pipes within a designated distance upstream of a selected point.
  • Upstream Segment - Traces all Pipes within a designated number of segments upstream of a selected point.
  • Downstream - Traces all Pipes downstream of a selected point.
  • Downstream Distance – Traces all Pipes within a designated distance downstream of a selected point.
  • Downstream Segment - Traces all Pipes within a designated number of segments downstream of a selected point.
Required Fields
  • Storm Conduits
    • US Structure
    • DS Structure

Note:  Trace results for Lines and Auxiliary assets are based on relationships within Lucity. The relationships are defined using the Required Fields listed above. The trace does not select assets in the map based on any sort of spatial relationship or proximity.
