Defining Supersegment Process within the Desktop Application
The following is an overview of the define supersegment process within the desktop:
Create a new supersegment inventory record (if option was selected)
Populate the supersegment attributes
The description, group, pavement and classification type are updated.
Disassociate existing subsegments (if option was selected)
Associate selected subsegments
Recalculate supersegments that had subsegments removed
Recalculate the length and area fields for the supersegment
Recreate the supersegment feature in the map
For example, if one of the selected subsegments was associated to supersegment A, and now you want to have it associated to supersegment B this step will recalculate the length/area for supersegment A since it no longer contains the selected subsegment. It will also recreate the geometry for supersegment A in the map.
