To Find Connected Pipes

Trace a gas network from a start feature to one or more optional stop features. The network is traced from the start feature to the stop features, if stop features are specified

Tip:

Network tracing is much more efficient when start and stop features are selected. Tracing a network without selecting a stop feature can take a very long time.

1. In the Industry Model Explorer, click the Workflow explorer icon.  
2. Right-click Find Connected.
3. Click Execute.
4. In the Workflow pane, under Choose A Start Feature, do the following:
   • Click Choose.
   • Click one or more features at the start of the network trace.
   • Press ENTER to complete the selection.
5. If you do not want to trace the whole network, do the following:
   • Under Optionally Choose Stop Features, click Choose.
   • Click one or more stop features.
   • Press Enter to complete selection.
6. Under Options, select Include Stop Features to list all connected features including the stop features. If this check box is cleared, stop features are not included.

   Start features are always included in the list of connected features.

7. To specify the trace direction, click Forward, Backward, or Both.
8. Click OK to start network tracing.

   When network tracing has finished, all connected features are displayed in the feature explorer in the Workflows pane. Use the tools at the top of the Workflows pane to open the feature class form, highlight selected features, and zoom to selected features.
