Split Sewer Pipes

The Sewer Split tool enables the user to split a Sewer Line and, if desired, add a new Structure at the split point.

To split the line in both the geodatabase and in Lucity, the user must use Lucity's Sewer Split tool to make the change, not the ESRI split tool. The Lucity tool is enabled only when: 1) one feature is selected in the map; and 2) the feature selected is linear.

How To Split a Sewer Pipe in The Map:

1. Start an edit session in ArcMap.
2. Select a Sewer Pipe in the map.
3. Click the Sewer Split tool on the Lucity GIS Edit toolbar.

   

4. The Sewer Split tool requires the system to save edits before and after performing the split. When prompted regarding the save (examples below), click Yes.

   

   

5. Using the mouse, click at the position on the line at which the Pipe will be split. (The pointer should automatically snap to the line.) If the Structure that will split the Pipe already exists in the structure feature class, snap the split cursor to the Structure.

   

6. If more than one editable sewer structure feature class exists in the map, the following dialog appears. Select the feature class that will contain the split Structure.

   

7. Click OK. The Sewer Split form appears:

   

   • The three sections at the top of the form display information about the existing Upstream Structure, Pipe, and Downstream Structure.
8. In the Conflicting Pipe Length section, choose whether to Set Lucity Length = GIS Length or to Proportionally Split Pipe in Lucity to match the split in GIS. (These options are enabled only when the Length of the Pipe differs between Lucity and the geodatabase.)
9. The Split and Orientation sections can be used to make adjustments to the location of the split along the pipe feature.
10. In the New Alt PipeID for US Pipe (Optional) section, choose whether to:
    • manually enter an Alt PipeID for the new Upstream Pipe,
    • allow Lucity to auto-number the Pipe (enabled only when the option is set up in the Geodatabase Configuration tool),
    • use the End Point IDs, or
    • use the existing Pipe's Alt PipeID.
11. In the New Split Point section, assign a Facility ID to the new Structure by manually entering the ID or allowing Lucity to auto-number the Structure (enabled only when the option is set up in the Geodatabase Configuration tool).

    Note: If a Structure already exists at the point along the line where the split is performed, this section is disabled. Instead, Lucity displays the existing Structure information.

12. In the New Alt Pipe ID for DS Pipe (Optional) section, choose whether to:
    • manually enter an Alt PipeID for the new Downstream Pipe,
    • allow Lucity to auto-number the Pipe (enabled only when the option is set up in the Geodatabase Configuration tool), or
    • use the End Point IDs, or
    • use the existing Pipe's Alt PipeID.
13. To retain a record in the Pipe Inventory for the Pipe as it was before the split, enable the Archive Pre-split Pipe option and set a Status for the archived Pipe.
    • The archived Pipe cannot be shown in the map.
    • Users cannot create Requests, Work Orders or PM/Work Templates for the archived Pipe.
14. To override the settings that control which Lucity modules are associated with the new Pipe, click the Advanced Settings button.
    • Modules associated by default when deleting (not archiving) Pipes:
      • Inspections
      • Overflows
      • Requests
      • Work Orders
      • PM/Work Templates
    • Modules associated by default when archiving Pipes:
      • PM/Work Templates

    

15. After making all selections, click OK. The following message appears when the process is complete:
