Attribute Assistant - GN method to update all connected edges

AlistairMcDougall1 — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 15:29:30 GMT

Hello, I'm late to the game on AA - very handy add-in! I have some simple data in a geometric network (one edge fc, one junction fc) and have configured some rules to populate values on my edge fc from the junction fc when creating a new edge or when a junction is updated. My DynamicValue table looks something like:

Table	Field	Value Method	Value Info
Pipe	downstream_depth	TO_JUNCTION_FIELD	depth
Pipe	upstream_depth	FROM_JUNCTION_FIELD	depth
Chamber	depth	UPDATE_TO_EDGE_FIELD	downstream_depth
Chamber	depth	UPDATE_FROM_EDGE_FIELD	upstream_depth

For the UPDATE_ methods, works great when a single edge is connected to a single junction, but in a case where two or more edges connect to one junction (a fork in the road), only one edge is updated automatically upon an edit. I can select the other edge(s) and manually run the rules from the toolbar and the edges are updated as expected. Using GN tools, I can see the junction knows it's connected to 3+ edges.

Is there a way to configure AA to auto-apply the UPDATE_TO/FROM_EDGE FIELD method to all edges connected to the junction?

Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the Update From Edge Field and Update To Edge Field methods. This will update the connected from/to edges when a junction is updated. Is that what you are looking for?

Thanks for the response, I am using those methods but it seems they only will update one connected edge automatically when an edit to the junction is made? For example when I change the depth value for the middle junction:

Only the edge to the right is updated automatically, the rest I need to select and run the rule manually from the toolbar:

Just wondering if this is expected behaviour? Thanks

Ah, sorry, missed that in your table. Let me look at the code.

It should update all connected edges, but it is based on To From

I am comparing Geometry to ensure the line is connected correctly,

iJuncFeat = (IJunctionFeature)iEdgeFeat.FromJunctionFeature;
if (((IFeature)iJuncFeat).Shape.Equals(inFeature.Shape))

I wonder if this bypassing some edges.

Could I get your sample data to test?

Absolutely, should I send by email?

yes, that works, mmiller@esri.com. I am on vacation this and next week, so it might take me a while to review.
