To Create a Facility

Use the Facility Creation workflow to either create and name a new structure or add facilities to an existing structure. Facilities are not related to network points or lines.

  1. In the Industry Model Explorer, click the Workflow explorer icon.  
  2. Right-click Facility Creation.
  3. Click Execute.
  4. Under Structure Of The Facility, select the structure to add facilities to or enter a name for a new structure.
  5. Select the type of geometry you want to create.
  6. Click OK and follow the prompts.
  7. Press ESC to finish the workflow.

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

    The facility includes a new structure (if selected), a new facility attribute feature, and a facility geometry feature of the selected geometry type.

  8. In the Facility feature class form, define the facility attributes for the created features.

    The facility geometry feature class is not displayed, because it does not store any special attributes.

  9. Double-click the FID Structure attribute to open the Structure feature class form.

    This is the structure associated with the facility.

Creating a facility

  1. In the Facility feature class form, define the facility attributes for the created features. The facility geometry feature class is not displayed, because it does not store any special attributes.
  2. Double-click the FID Structure attribute to open the Structure feature class form. This is the structure the facility belongs to.

Add Geometry and Equipment

With the Facility Creation workflow you can create facilities with one geometry feature. You can add more geometries and equipment features.

To add geometry and equipment

  1. In the Facility feature class form, select the facility.
  2. Click Equipment to show the Equipment feature class form. If no equipment has been created so far, the filter is empty.
  3. On the form toolbar, click the New Record icon. Note that the FID of the facility has been inserted.
  4. Adjust the attributes and click OK.

    Repeat these steps to add more geometry features to the facility.

  5. Click Facility Line to open the related feature class form. The filter shows all lines that are related to the current facility.
  6. On the form toolbar, click Digitize New Feature. Follow the prompts.
