In a configured modeling project. Once you have added features to the system,
00:07
you need to ensure the pipe direction is correct by redrawing them.
00:12
In this model, pumps in a reservoir have just been added.
00:16
Next,
00:17
you need to red digitize the pipes so they
00:19
connect to the newly created pumps and reservoir.
00:24
Keep in mind that because pipe direction
00:26
dictates the direction that a pump operates.
00:29
You will have to draw all these pipes from the reservoir towards the system.
00:35
On the info water pro ribbon in the edit panel,
00:37
expand the edit dropdown and select redraw pipe.
00:42
Click the pipe. You wish to redraw
00:45
this command redraws the currently selected pipe.
00:48
So it is important to select the correct pipe.
00:51
The selected pipe flashes to indicate that it will be redrawn.
00:56
Click to start the pipe on a node.
00:59
If you do not click close enough to the start junction,
01:01
you may inadvertently make another pipe flash.
01:05
If this occurs. Reelect the pipe, you wish to redraw until it flashes
01:09
and repeat the selection of the start node.
01:12
Click to add intermediate vertices,
01:15
double click to finish the pipe on a node.
01:19
Repeat these steps for the other two pipes to red digitize them.
01:27
To help you find the locations. You can use command center utilities locate
01:33
pipe
01:34
to locate pipes, 13130
01:37
and 12390.
01:48
The Zoom Tools on the Argi
01:50
Pro ribbon in the navigate panel can also help you center the model view.
01:56
You can now verify the pipe direction of all pipes connected to pumps
02:02
in the contents.
02:02
Pane locate the pipe layer and double click the red line for domain pipes.
02:09
The symbology window appears for the domain pipe symbol,
02:14
locate and select the arrow at end symbol,
02:19
click properties change the symbol to a red color. Like the domain uses
02:25
increase the line thickness and click apply
02:30
on the info water pro ribbon
02:32
in the domain panel. Click in large domain
02:36
in the model.
02:37
Manually select all the pipes connected to your pumps so that they are in the domain.
02:42
This will now show all pipes in the domain with an arrow at the end of the pipe
02:47
so that you can quickly and easily see the direction of the pipes
02:53
by limiting this to the domain. Only the pipes in your domain are displayed this way.
02:57
So you can avoid unnecessary clutter.
03:01
You can now verify that all pipes connected to pumps
03:04
are drawn in the correct direction quickly and easily.
03:09
This is a handy feature you can use to
03:11
verify the direction of key pipes in your system,
03:13
especially pipes connected to pumps.
03:15
And valves which must be drawn in the direction of water flow
03:20
to clear the domain pipes back to their default settings on the info water pro ribbon
03:25
in the view panel, click reset map display.
