This function is only for new multilines created in the same session.
You can create a route/trench for newly created multilines. You can easily identify which cables or pipes belong to a specific tube or trench and modify them as needed.
For our example in the procedure below, we create multiple cables (LVCables) and bundle them together in a trench.
To create a route/trench:
1.Create a multiline (in our example, we create three LVCables).
2.Go to Multilines > Route/Trench Create and click Select.
3.Select the multiline you just created.
4.Optional: Select the route/trench structure you want to create. In our example, we create a Trench.
If you do not select a polygon or area as a graphical representation of the route/trench, it appears as a line.
The table below describes the route/trench options.
Setting |
Description |
|---|---|
Trenches |
Optional: You can use the Trench and Tube settings to create a graphical representation of a trench area or tube. |
Trench Position |
The Trench Offset is the distance of the trench from the trench axis. |
Bounding Structure |
Optional: Select Trench or Tube to view its aerial representation. Otherwise, you can see the trench represented as a line. |
Feature(s) selected |
Displays the features included in the trench/tube. You can remove the feature or selection of tube/trench. |
5.Click Save.
The figure below shows how the features are connected within the topology. All lines are linked to the trench line through a containment association. If a trench polygon is present, it contains the trench line.
