Batch Pipe Split Dialog Box
The Batch Pipe Split dialog allows you to split pipes with neighboring nodes that are found within the specified tolerance.
| Choose Features to Process | Allows you to specify which pipes to include in the split operation. The following options are available: All : All pipes in the model that have a neighboring node within the specified tolerance will be split by that junction. Selection : Only the pipes that are currently selected in the drawing pane will be split by a neighboring junction that lies within the specified tolerance. Selection Set : Only those pipes that are contained within the selection set specified in the drop down list will be split by a neighboring junction that lies within the specified tolerance. |
| Allow splitting with inactive nodes | When this box is checked, nodes that are marked Inactive will not be ignored during the split operation. |
| Tolerance | This value is used to determine how close a pipe must be to a node in order for the pipe to be split by that junction. |
Pipes will be split by every junction that falls within the specified tolerance. To prevent unwanted pipe splits, first use the Network Navigator’s "Network Review > Pipe Split Candidates" query to verify that the tolerance you intend to use for the Batch Split operation will not include nodes that you do not want involved in the pipe split operation.
