Merge Street Segments

The Street Merge tool will merge two street segments in the geodatabase and in Lucity.

Note: The Street Merge Tool is only enabled if all of the following conditions are met: (1) Two features are selected in the map (2) The features selected are linear. (3) The features are snapped together at one end.

How To Merge two street segments in the map

1. In ArcMap, start an edit session.
2. Select two adjacent street segment features in the map. This is done by dragging a box around the two streets or by clicking on one street and then holding down the SHIFT key while clicking on the second street.
3. Click the Street Merge tool on the Lucity GIS Edit toolbar.

   

4. The merge tool requires that edits be saved before and after performing the merge. One of the following prompts will appear asking if users want to proceed.

   

   

5. Click Yes and the following dialog will appear

   .

   • Existing From Street: This is read-only information about the pre-merged from street.
   • Existing Intersection: If an intersection feature was located at the common endpoint of the two street features this section will be enabled. This is the existing intersection information and lists the various merge options for the intersection.
     • Don't Delete Feature: Select this option to keep the intersection in both the desktop inventory module and in the intersection feature class.
     • Delete Feature From GIS Only: Select this option to keep the intersection in the desktop inventory module, but remove the feature from the intersection feature class. Note: This option is disabled if the tool was unable to locate a structure within 1 map unit of the common end point for the two streets or if the intersection feature class is not editable.
     • Delete from GIS and Lucity: Select this option to remove the intersection from both the desktop inventory module and the intersection feature class. Note: This option is disabled if the tool was unable to locate an intersection within 1 map unit of the common end point of the two streets, the intersection feature class is not editable, or the intersection doesn't exist in the desktop inventory module.
     • Structure Status: This box is only enabled if users choose an option that would keep the intersection record within the desktop inventory. The box lists the various status types that are defined in the status pick list field in the desktop intersection inventory module.
   • Existing To Street: This is read-only information about the pre-merged to street.
   • New Street Segment (required): Users can manually enter a new Segment ID, use a Lucity auto number (this option is only enabled if the segment ID field in the feature class is configured to use a number generator), use the end point IDs, use the existing segment ID of the from street, or use the existing segment ID of the to street.
   • Merge Subsegments: By default, this option is enabled and checked if both of the pre-merged street segments only have one associated subsegment. Leave this option checked to maintain a one to one ratio between street segments and subsegments; otherwise, the newly merged street segment will have two subsegments.
   • New Street Segment Length: This option is only enabled if the tool calculates a difference between the GIS and Lucity street segment lengths. Users can choose to set the Lucity length to be equal to the GIS length or use the Lucity calculated length.
   • New Street Segment Attributes-Copy from: Users can choose to copy over the attributes from the pre-merged from street, pre-merged to street, or the longer street.

     Note: This option will be automatically set and disabled if the new street segment ID is the same as the previous to or from street segment ID.
