For example, the electric network is made up of phases to denote the flow of electricity. But in GIS we will only draw one feature for the network. So a 3 phase electric line will have 3 conductor objects, or even 4 if you want to model the neutral wire. This allows to inventory the size and type of wire used. Many times the units maybe the same, but the idea of Objects allow you to keep track of all the materials used. Hope this helps...&nbsp; </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 11 Jul 2017 19:16:51 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/electric-questions/arcfm-data-model/m-p/464790#M384 KevinFox 2017-07-11T19:16:51Z Re: ArcFM data model https://community.esri.com/t5/electric-questions/arcfm-data-model/m-p/464791#M385 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Thanks for the answer Kevin.
