https://community.esri.com/t5/trace-network-questions/create-feature-class-of-trace-start-points-using/m-p/1543223#M167 <P>Hello, I have a trace network consisting of points/junctions (representing manholes) and lines/edges (representing sanitary sewer pipes). I am using a separate feature class to represent flow meters that I use as start points for the trace tool. Right now I manually snap these flow meter points on the edge lines where I would like the trace to start and have a separate feature class of flow meter manholes showing what manhole was entered by our contractor to place the flow meter in the desired pipe. I am hoping to find a way to only have one feature class that would tell us both the MH ID and pipe ID of a given flow meter and act as trace start points at the same time. Is there a way to automatically create points on the pipe segment/edge closest to a given manhole/junction by just using a list of paired flow meter manhole ID and flow meter pipe ID numbers? Thanks!&nbsp;&nbsp;</P> Thu, 26 Sep 2024 20:50:11 GMT TracyH 2024-09-26T20:50:11Z https://community.esri.com/t5/trace-network-questions/create-feature-class-of-trace-start-points-using/m-p/1543223#M167 <P>Hello, I have a trace network consisting of points/junctions (representing manholes) and lines/edges (representing sanitary sewer pipes).
