Joel and I were able to figure out a fix for this. I haven't had time to write up what we did so feel free to contact me at Pwells@villageoflakeplacid.ny.gov and I can walk you though the process.

I work for a small utility and have implemented the Water Utility Hydrant Inspections solution. I can't seem to figure out how to edit or modify the related record table Hydrant Maintenance Inspection. I would like to add a few additional fields to the survey but can't figure out how to actually edit the table.

I am using the new Arcgis Online Map Viewer and have noticed that when selecting objects that are in close proximity, lines are always selected first. Whereas in Map Viewer Classic it seemed that points were selected first. Is anyone else experiencing something similar to this?

I have two feature classes, street lights and street poles, which have unique identifiers. Each pole point has a light point that is offset by 12 feet in the direction of the nearest road. The street pole feature layer has all of the ID fields filled out properly, while the street light feature is missing many of the ID's. How can I transfer the attribute value from the pole to the light while preserving both layers? Normally I would use spatial join, but these are both hosted feature layers. I've tried coming up with something in model builder but can't figure it out. Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated

That would be a fantastic idea. Currently the major issue is that we only have photometric files for each light type, so we need to convert each one into an isoline profile. However, the current process for getting these profiles is kind of a pain. We open the photometric files in AGI32, convert it to Cad, then convert it again into ArcGIS Pro. There has to be a better way to get a photometric file to create a usable isoline for Arcgis Pro. Once we get this working I think your suggestion to determine the coverage is a great idea. I will have to give it a try. It is an interesting predicament, it might be that we are asking for to much. The few examples of utilities and cities that use Arcgis to display light coverage and intensity have all used a simple buffer. Not taking into account the actual distribution of the light.

I am working on something similar at the moment for the utility I work for. What program did you use to convert the IES into a DWG?

I work for a small municipal electric utility in northern NY. The utility has recently started phasing out older HPS streetlights in favor of newer LED fixtures. Prior to the development of our utility maps, currently less than a year old, the utility would hire an outside company to come in and perform a lighting study on areas in question. Now that we have a functioning utility map it would be convenient to use it to perform a lighting study in house. Does anyone have any experience using ArcGIS in this way? The main thing that I would like to do is find a way to plot luminaire isoline profiles on our map. That way we can see if the streetlight arm needs to be adjusted or replaced. In addition, I've looked at several different lighting software programs, such as AGI32 and DIALux, which seem useful. however, the process of converting sections of our map to CAD and importing and adjusting in those programs is rather burdensome. I am hoping someone with more experience and can give a recommendation.

I've got this working! Thank you so much for the help, I would never have gotten nearly this far on my own. It requires some fine touches here and there but will safe a metric ton of work. Thanks!

Fantastic, I am still working through the code you sent and trying to get it to work. I thought something along the lines of creating points along a line, then split based on that point. I will try to integrate this all together and see if I can get it to work!

Did you use model builder to get this or python? I tested out your recommendation and got something similar, minus the lines.

‎12-31-2020

Ideally the lines would be generated at a point feature, but created to be perpendicular to the center line of the road.

I'll give it a quick try and let you know what I come up with. One of the things is that I have the exact distance the point is supposed to move, essentially always 8 feet. I'm not sure how that might change things.

I am working with a small electric utility, we are trying to conduct a lighting study with some of our street lights. Currently our system models utility poles and lights as different layers, that are currently coincident. What I would like to do if find a way to create a line of a set distance, the arm length, starting at the pole and directionally towards the center of the road. Then move the light point to the end of the newly created line. Is there a combination of tools or techniques that could be utilized to do this in model builder? Attached is what I've done already, and would like to try to find a way to do at a larger scale.

Daniel, I maintain and manage an online web map for a small local municipal electric department in upstate NY. I would be happy to give you a tour of our webpage and give some advice on how it was constructed and maintained. It would be a great practice run for a presentation I have coming up on such a topic.

Thank you for the timely Response. Unfortunately, my definition of "edit" is one of being able to make wide-scale data value changes and large scale map changes. It seems like the best method moving forward is to coordinate with the guys in the field to let them know not to modify or the map, so it can be updated. Thank you for all of the help this clears up a lot of the confusion I've been dealing with.
