To Create Start and End Nodes

The CreateStartEndNode feature rule controls the automatic creation of network points.

If you create a pipe with a start or end that is not connected to a network point, a fitting is created. Sometimes the water network does not continue beyond a certain point. If you need to create non-ending pipes, you can disable this feature rule. Also, you can configure the feature rule, so that a network point of any type is created.

If you create a control cable with a start or end that is not connected to a network point, a cable point is created.
