Hi -
Our source data has *many* cases where a surface structure (pedestal, junction box, cabinet, etc.) is connected to an underground structure line (conduit or duct bank) at a mid-span vertex.
We were advised by one party that retaining this configuration (allowing connections to "any vertex") in the UN could have adverse downstream consequences.
In limited testing in a test mobile geodatabase, this configuration seems to work fine. We create the junction, re-build the subnetwork, move the junction and have the structure line adjust its shape, re-build the subnetwork, and all seems to work hunky dory.
Should we be concerned about pursuing this path? The alternative would be to split *many* UG structure lines either in the source or the migration process, which we would prefer not having to do.
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
