Matt, 1:  I would model them as complex.  If you model them as simple and you map you cleanouts, this will split the lateral at that location into two features.  2:  Check your flow direction, you can display flow arrows using a button on the Infrastructure Editing Toolbar or the Utility Network Toolbar.  You can manually set the flow based on digitized direction using a tool on the Infrastructure Editing Toolbar also. 3:  It should be ok to check the data out.  I have not really tried this in a while though.  I have ran into issues with GPS correct and GPS Analyst.  You will have to build a replica GDB, drop the network, check this out for field edits, sync field edits and sync the replica back to the master.  If you are just collecting new information or even trying to move existing, a lot of users find it simplier to capture new data, then inside ArcMap adjust the existing features and copy and paste the new. Let us know if you have any more questions. ... View more

Mike,   You need to change the AddLaterals Section.  Use the Layer names in the TOC or the Feature Class name.  If you use the FC name, any definition queries or filtering on the layer will be ignored. ... View more

The upstream and downstream are the same.  The tools on the infrastructure toolbar just make it a single button click.  It finds the geometric network you clicked on, then places the flag and runs the trace.  It may be a tad slower because it is trying to find the closest geometric network to the location you clicked and then create the flag at this location.  You could use the code and develop an SOE to call the functions and this is the recommended way.  The sample we have on the forum is an older version that uses a SOAP web service. ...

Mike,    Open up the Infrastructure Reporting Toolbar, and click the last tool.  This dialog will show you where the config file is located.  In the config file, find the add laterals section and change this to match your data.  The set measures does not require any config change, just have a selected segment that supports M's. ...

Do you mean the buffer of the mains that is created with you save the project, the convex hull around all the features?  If so, at the moment it is hard coded.  I can expose that value in the next release if you would like. ... View more

What if you made a copy of the lines feature class.  Ran a merge to merge all pipes of the same size or diameter or all together.  Then used the points to resplit them at the location.  You would need to do this outside the geometric network.  The Infrastructure Editing template has a tool to split lines at selected points. ...
