Trace Tools

The Trace tools are designed to quickly find out information about a Sewer, Storm, or Water Network. To switch between the different trace tools click the

button.

Click the button.
Click on a water pipe on the map. The following pop-up will appear:
Use the drop down to select the type of Water Trace to run.
- Isolation Valve - Traces water pipes outward from the location the user clicked on and finds the closest water isolation valves.
Choose to enable/disable the related option:
- Include services in trace results - Check this if you want the trace to select all of the Water Service lines that are attached to pipes that the trace selects.
- Include hydrants in trace results - Check this if you want the trace to select all of the Water Hydrants that are attached to pipes that the trace selects.
- Clear Previous Trace Results - Check this if you want to clear the selection before performing the trace. If it is unchecked it will add the results to the previous selection.
Click OK to begin the trace.
The tool automatically begins to trace outward from that pipe. It continues to trace water pipes until it comes to a valve.
If the valve is marked as an isolation valve the trace highlights the valve and stops tracing pipes along that path.
Note: The tool checks the Valve record in Lucity to see if it is marked as an Isolation Valve. It does not check any information within the feature class.
The Data Table will open to display all selected records.

Click the button.
Click on a sewer pipe on the map. The following pop-up will appear:
Use the drop down to select the type of Sewer Trace to run.
- Upstream – Traces all pipes upstream of a selected point.
- Upstream Distance – Traces all pipes within an entered distance upstream of a selected point.
- Upstream Segment - Traces all pipes within an entered number of segments upstream of a selected point.
- Downstream - Traces all pipes downstream of a selected point.
- Downstream Distance – Traces all pipes within an entered distance downstream of a selected point.
- Downstream Segment - Traces all pipes within an entered number of segments downstream of a selected point.
If you chose a Distance or Segment trace fill in the Units field.
Choose to enable/disable the related options.
- Include services in trace results - Check this if you want the trace to select all of the Sewer Service lines that are attached to pipes that the trace selects.
- Clear Previous Trace Results - Check this if you want to clear the selection before performing the trace. If it is unchecked it will add the results to the previous selection.
Click OK to begin the trace.
The tool automatically begins to trace in the desired direction.
The Data Table will open to display all selected records.

Click the button.
Click on a storm pipe on the map. The following pop-up will appear:
Use the drop down to select the type of Storm Trace to run.
- Upstream – Traces all pipes upstream of a selected point.
- Upstream Distance – Traces all pipes within an entered distance upstream of a selected point.
- Upstream Segment - Traces all pipes within an entered number of segments upstream of a selected point.
- Downstream - Traces all pipes downstream of a selected point.
- Downstream Distance – Traces all pipes within an entered distance downstream of a selected point.
- Downstream Segment - Traces all pipes within an entered number of segments downstream of a selected point.
If you chose a Distance or Segment trace fill in the Units field.
Choose to enable/disable the related option:
- Clear Previous Trace Results - Check this if you want to clear the selection before performing the trace. If it is unchecked it will add the results to the previous selection.
Click OK to begin the trace.
The tool automatically begins to trace in the desired direction.
The Data Table will open to display all selected records.
