Water Utility Profile Tool

KillyLaughead — Thu, 21 Apr 2016 19:02:17 GMT

I'm currently trying to use the water utility add-on to create elevation profiles of our cities sewer network. I have a set of sample data in a geometric network and have configured the profile tool -- there are no more errors when I load it. When I select the profile tool and try to click on my first point however, I get a pop up that says "a location was not found", which is rather vague and unhelpful in figuring out what went wrong. Is this a data problem? A tool problem?

All I'm looking to do is show manhole elevations - top and bottom - and pipe flow elevations, I don't need any of the other tools necessarily so if there is a different way to go about this, I'm all ears.

Did you adjust the config file to match your layer names?

I believe so.

Can you share your config and your map or at least a screen shot of your map?

This is the portion that I did within the profile graph section. I'm not looking to use any of the other tools at the moment. I'm only doing a very small sample of our dataset right now while I determine the feasibility of doing our entire network. The geometric network has no errors, so I wouldn't think that would be the issue.

It appears you changed the parameter names, not the values. You need to change the values. I would go back to the original config to ensure you have all the parameters again.

Example:

Here is what you have <StormTest_Net>SewerStormwater_Net</StormTest_Net>
This is what it should be <Network_Name>StormTest_Net</Network_Name>

Awesome, thank you so much for your help.

I do have another question. As I'm exploring this option for profile graphing, is there a way to further customize labeling? I'd like to be able show multiple attributes at the same time but seem to be able to only do so on one line and not show what those attributes actually are. It might be super simple, but I have not done much work with XML in the past obviously, so I'm not sure how to go about this.

I do not think so, there is the line lables section you can add fields to. You can always modify the graph after the fact.

Hello @KillyLaughead @MikeMillerGIS ,

I would be interested in learning which water utility add-on you are referring to. Could you please share more details about it?

Regards,

Arnaud

This was part of the Water Utility Geometric Network Editing solution for ArcMap which is retired.
