Water Utility Network Editing Tools in ArcGIS Pro and Utility Network

[shildebrand]

Does anyone know if the water geometric network editing and analysis tools have been replicated in ArcGIS Pro for use in a utility network?  In arcmap, we used this tool to automate water lateral creation between a meter location and an adjacent water/sewer main.  I have thousands of water meter locations (points) and need to create laterals from the point to the main. 

If this isn't possible, is there a download of the attribute assistant and water utility network editing tools addins available for use within ArcGIS 10.5.1?  We still have a copy of arcmap and could theoretically replicate this process outside of the utility network.

Actually trying to do the reverse- automating the creation of laterals where service meter locations exist (placing a tap on the nearest main, two-point line, meter at end of line). Basically, would want to select all of the meters with no laterals and have this rule fire. That was why I selected the junction (fitting) as my template. It may make more sense to select the meter as the template in this case, and then create laterals and taps, but I think doing it in this manner would digitize the lines in the opposite direction (won't matter since it's a UN, but still seems odd to have the fitting at the end of the line)

That is what I am saying.  You need to create the group template on the Meter.  That group template will End with the meter, but start with the Tap. 

Here is an example.  My service connections are the meters

I create a group template on Service Connection and set the Tools to Line Tools

Then I add builders.  If I want the line to be digitized from Meter to Main, I ensure the Meter(Service connection in my example) is set to End of Line.  I then set the tap to Beginning of Line

Another note:  These group template are purely for configuration of the attribute rule.  They are not how I would set them up for an editor

Thank you so much for this! I was able to get it working on an FGDB copy of our EGDB UN. If the schema change (new field and domain for dynamic value) is a requirement, I will likely just run this on the FGDB UN and append the data it creates into the SQL DB.

[MikeMillerGIS]

You can always adjust the attribute rule to no use the dynamic value field.  This just builds a baseline Attribute Rule

Found the issue, for EGDB layers, the datasource in the map json is the encrypted password info.  I have to use the layers describe to get the catalog path.  

Updatds https://github.com/Esri/arcade-expressions/tree/master/attribute-rules/attribute_assistant to 0.3.5 with a fix.

This attribute rule will be very helpful. For the UN we had replaced the GN lateral creation tools using Python scripts as a temporary solution. This new attribute rule will make it more streamlined when editing.

Would it be possible to create a version of this attribute rule specific for sewer laterals? In our system we show a dog leg at the end of laterals that points in the digitized direction of flow. I believe this is common practice in other sewer utilities and is often seen on the engineering/CAD files for projects. It maybe worth having it as an option in the initial setup of the attribute rule in the GP tool?

Might be tricky in the current framework, but I will log it and think about how to solve it.
