Industry models support multiple locations (representations). You can visualize a feature in different locations, and store the geometries in the database. For generalization, you can digitize features with multiple locations. Also, the industry model maintains consistency when you update or delete features with multiple locations.
There are two types of multiple locations.
Schema Plan
A schema plan represents real world features by transforming the original feature geometry to an alternative location, for example by applying a coordinate offset. For example, you create geoschematic or orthogonal schema plans to represent an electric network.
For example, use a geoschematic plan to create a georeferenced cable map for electric utilities that is derived from pathway geometry.
Generalization
Generalization provides a set of generalization feature classes that can be used to digitize secondary features at one or more alternative location. For example, you displace features to create an alternative representation for an overview map with a scale bigger than 1:10,000.
To create a representation template, start the data model administrator. Right-click the Representations node and click a command.

Getting Schematics Started
Use Infrastructure Administrator to
- Create schematics feature classes.
- Create schema plan templates. See Creating a Schema Plan Template.
- Create generalization feature classes.
Use AutoCAD Map 3D to
- Select the schema plan template.
- Select the features and build a schema plan, that means to create the schematic features.
- Digitize generalization features, using the generalization feature classes.
Building a schema plan means deriving new geometries from existing geometries based on their existing logical connectivity, and based on the defined rules.
