Hello,

We currently have a feature class for Service Laterals. Also one for the sanitary lines.

We are wanting to snap the Service Laterals to our sanitary lines. This is so we can create a geometric network.

The snapping however makes it terribly hard to then move a line, for it bends at every vertex where the service connection laterals are snapped.

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

Thank you,

Kim Lockwood

Hello Kim, 

Have you taken a look at the Water Utility Network Editing and Analysis that is part of the ArcGIS for Water Solutions? As part of this solution are a series of tools that help to streamline the processing of adding laterals while still ensuring the integrity of a network. For example, the construction tools can be used to add a connection and the lateral, add lateral from line location, add point and split intersecting line.

Thanks,

Clare

Kim,

Did you find a solution for this?  I need to do something similar with our water distribution system.

Were you using the snap geoprocessing tool?
