About Point Feature Classes

Point feature classes store geometry only; not attributes. They are related to the wastewater feature, WW_POINT.FID_ATTR. Network geometry is stored separately in the WW_POINT feature class.

Note:

The records of the geometry feature classes are maintained by the enterprise industry model . Do not enhance geometry feature classes by adding customer attributes. The geometry feature classes build the network topology.

Utility points of the wastewater data model are stored in attribute feature classes; one for each point type.

Each point feature class has a label feature class and many of the point feature classes have an associated model table. Model tables can be found in the Administration topic of the data model, under Manufacturer.

Point Feature Class Form

Use the basic feature class forms of the wastewater point features to view and edit the feature attributes and to view related data.

All point feature class forms contain the following elements:

  • General tab — Displays general feature information.
  • Details tab — Displays detailed feature attributes and link buttons that provide links to all line features (sections) the points are connected to.
  • Related Tables tab — Allows direct access to the following related tables:
    Related Table Table Name and Description

    Maintenance

    WW_MAINTENANCE. Contains information about network maintenance.

    See Maintenance.

    See Marker.

    Cover

    See Cover.

  • Table tab — Displays all attributes in table form.

Each point feature class form provides functions for further processing of the selected records. For more information, see Use Wastewater Feature Functions.

Connecting Point Features to Sites

Each network point can be connected to a site. The easiest way to connect a network point to a site is to use the Network Point Creation workflow. For more information, see Network Point Creation.

If you have an existing point without a site connection, you can assign it to a site.

To connect a point to a site

  1. In the Industry Model Explorer, click the Industry Model explorer icon.  
  2. Right-click the feature class, such as Manhole, and click Show Form.
  3. Select the manhole to connect to the site.
  4. Click the Related Tables tab.
  5. Click the Point (WW_POINT) reference button to display the related geometry feature.
  6. In the Point feature class form, click the Details tab.
  7. Under Site, select the FID of the related site.
  8. Click Update (F5).

For more information about sites, see Site.
