To Create a Network Point

Use the Network Point Creation workflow to create any of the network point types.

The Network Point Creation workflow splits existing lines to keep the topology correct.

  1. In the Industry Model Explorer, click the Workflow explorer icon.  
  2. Right-click the Network Point Creation workflow. Click Execute.
  3. In the feature class list, select the type of network point feature you want to create.

    You can also double-click a point type to start digitizing with the current options.

  4. Specify a reference record, if any.
  5. In the Site area, click one of the following options:
    • None – Specifies no site is associated with the point.
    • Digitize – Prompts you to create a site.

      If you create a new site, specify the geometry type for the site.

    • Connect To – Prompts you to select an existing site.
  6. Click OK.
  7. Follow the prompts to create the new point.
  8. Press ESC to finish the workflow.

    When you are finished creating geometry, the feature class form is displayed so you can add attribute data.

If you place the network point on a line feature such as a pipe, you are prompted to create a soft split or a hard split. For more information, see Split Lines.
