Displaying Pipe Repairs on the Network Views

Pipe repairs can be displayed on the GeoPlan Window and Long Section Window.

On the GeoPlan, repairs are displayed on top of the section of pipe they relate to. They are shown as a line with a rectangle and vertical square bars in collection networks and as a line in distribution networks. The line starts on the pipe at the point of the repair start length (Start Length field) and has a length corresponding to the Repair Length field (See Pipe Repair Data Fields (Collection) and Pipe Repair Data Fields (Distribution) for more information).

By default, the symbology is coloured in orange. However, it is possible to customise repair themes using the GeoPlan Properties dialog.

The tool can be used to display pipe repair properties from the GeoPlan Window or Long Section Window. Click on a repair on the view using the tool. The Pipe Repair Property Sheet will be displayed with the Definition page open. See Pipe Repair Data Fields (Collection) and Pipe Repair Data Fields (Distribution) for further details.

The image below shows a network fragment on the GeoPlan Window. Pipes are shown using a thin blue line, and nodes using a green circle. An example of pipe repair is shown (in orange).
