Tracing tools

Contains menu items that enable a number of traces for use in analysing network connectivity.

Menu Item	Description
Downstream trace mode	Invokes Downstream Trace mode. Click a conduit to trace all possible downstream paths from the selected conduit. See Upstream / Downstream Network Trace for more information. This also applies to selected excluded conduits if the Excluded object select tool or menu option is turned on. Toolbar: GeoPlan Tools
Upstream trace mode	Invokes Upstream Trace mode. Click a conduit to trace all possible upstream paths from the selected conduit. See Upstream / Downstream Network Trace for more information. This also applies to selected excluded conduits if the Excluded object select tool or menu option is turned on. Toolbar: More GeoPlan Tools
Pipe direction tool	Invokes Pipe Direction Trace mode. Enables a check to be made on the direction of a selection of pipes. Click the downstream pipe of a current selection of pipes. The direction of pipes in relation to the downstream pipe will be tested. See Pipe Direction Trace for more information. Toolbar: More GeoPlan Tools
Connectivity	Lists details of all physically separate sub-networks within the model. Used to check that the model is fully connected. See Connectivity Trace for more information.
Intermediate paths	Selects all paths that exist between two currently selected nodes. See Intermediate Paths Trace for more information.
Proximity trace	Enables searches for all nodes that lie within a certain distance of a pipe (to which the node is not connected). See Proximity Trace for more information.
Network isolation trace	Applicable to Distribution Networks only. Selects all objects that cannot be traced to a source (i.e. a borehole, tank or surface source object) without the trace passing through a closed valve. See Network Isolation Trace for more information.
Pipe isolation trace	Applicable to Distribution Networks only. Selects the nearest valves to a selected pipe(s) to be closed in order to isolate the pipe. See Pipe Isolation Trace for more information.
Long Section tracing settings	Applicable to Collection Networks only. Enables the settings that determine how links and nodes are selected for inclusion in a long section, when using the Long Section Pick Tool, to be changed. See Setting Long Section Pick Criteria for more information.

Availability: Whenever a GeoPlan is the currently active window.
