Thanks for the information, Michael. Here's some more details on my data before I start creating the network database:
1. We have thousands of laterals, but only a few known cleanout locations that we've GPS'ed to date. Do you have cleanouts as a 'source'?
2. Luckily, all or our data was input in the correct flow direction when the data was created in the late 90's, so the direction arrows are all correct. What I was referring to is when an influent pipe enters a manhole (junction) that has 2 effluent pipes, the wastewater takes the lowest pipe 99% of the time. Only when there is extremely high flow would it ever pass through the second pipe. So my question is how can I set up my sewer network to trace through the deepest pipe? I have invert elevations measured in sea level, it's not pipe depth. Should we be adding pipe depth to ensure the tracing in the way I described?
3. Back to sources and sinks, would lift stations and catch basins count as sinks? I'm a little confused on this function. Is there any websites you'd recommend I read regarding utility networks other than ESRI sites?
4. Lastly, what is the Infrastructure Editing Toolbar? Where is this found? I only have the Utility Network Analyst toolbar.
I appreciate all your advice.
Regards,
Matt
