Tracing Sewer and Storm Lines

Sewer and Storm lines may be traced using the Lucity Trace Solver tool and the Trace Task drop down list on the Lucity GIS Toolbar.

Sewer Trace

There are several traces available for sewer and storm lines:

Trace Type

Description

Upstream Trace

Selects all lines upstream of the line that is clicked on, including the line that is clicked on.

Downstream Trace

Selects all lines downstream of the line that is clicked on, including the line that is clicked on.

Upstream Distance Trace

Prompts for a distance to trace.  Traces upstream until that distance is met or exceeded.  The line that is clicked on is included in the distance calculation.  It does not matter where on the initiating line you click; the system will take the full line length in the calculation.

Downstream Distance Trace

Prompts for a distance to trace.  Traces downstream until that distance is met or exceeded.  The line that is clicked on is included in the distance calculation.  It does not matter where on the initiating line you click; the system will take the full line length in the calculation.

Upstream Segment Trace

Prompts for the number of segments to trace.  Traces upstream until the specified number of segments are selected.  The line that is clicked on is included in the segment count.

Downstream Segment Trace

Prompts for the number of segments to trace.  Traces downstream until the specified number of segments are selected.  The line that is clicked on is included in the segment count.
  1. To perform a trace, select the trace type you want to use from the drop down list and make the Lucity Trace Solver Tool active.
  2. Click on a sewer or storm line to start the trace.  When the trace is completed, you can zoom to the selected features by right-clicking on the Sewer or Storm line theme and selecting Selection > Zoom to Selected Features.
