Creating Schematic Representations

Schematic features and generalizations are location features that represent real-world features in an enterprise industry model .

Create schematic location features automatically from real-world geometry features using the Build Schematic workflow . This workflow produces orthogonal and geoschematic diagrams, depending on the schema plan created by your Administrator.

• A geoschematic diagram is a simplified geometric representation of topologically connected point and line features. The relative position of geoschematic features closely reflects the position of the real-world features from which they are abstracted. However, the geoschematic diagram reduces geometric complexity, making features easier to view and manage.
• An orthogonal schema represents an abstraction of topologically connected point and line features. It uses straight lines that are joined at right angles.

In addition, you can create schematic features manually from real-world attribute features that do not have geometry. See Creating Schematic Features for Attribute Features. Schematic features are point and line geometry.
