Segment Tools

The Segment toolbar contains tools that help you maintain your three pavement management and street network feature classes:  Street Segments, Street Subsegments, and Street Supersegments. These are described below:

Segment Tools

Street Segments (STNETG):

Street segments store street centerline data that is drawn from intersection to intersection.  There may be some places where the street is broken to facilitate address matching, but for the most part, they are drawn as a continuous segment intersection to intersection.

Street Subsegments (STSUBSEGG):

Street subsegments are portions of street centerlines.  Each street centerline has at least one subsegment, because it is the subsegment that tracks pavement surface type.  When you add a new street segment into the street geodatabase and save your record, Lucity GIS will automatically generate this street subsegment for you.  The purpose of subsegments is to let you break your pavements into increments smaller than intersection to intersection. For example, if you have a street called Main Street that is 1000 feet and extends from 1st Street to 2nd Street, you will have one street segment.  If Main Street is concrete for the first 300 feet and asphalt for the last 700 feet, you would have two subsegments for Main Street.  One subsegment would be from 1st street to a point 300 feet along Main Street.  The second subsegment would start at 300 feet along Main Street and continue to 2nd Street.  These segment tools are created to help you create and maintain these subsegments.

Street Supersegments (STSUPERGG):

Street supersegments are groupings of street subsegments.  Supersegments allow you to interact with other pavement management programs.

Notes: You should not be editing your geodatabase when using these tools.  Stop editing and save edits first. Street supersegments and street subsegments should not be created, split, merged, or deleted using the standard ArcGIS tools.  Always use the tools available on this toolbar for these operations.
