Once you have set up a modeling project and configured the project settings,
00:07
you can add features such as pumps to the system and digitize them.
00:12
In this exercise, you will digitize pump stations and a reservoir for your model.
00:18
In the contents page, scroll down to the valve layer and right click it,
00:23
select label to enable labeling
00:26
zoom in to the area that contains the reservoir which is actually a treatment plant.
00:31
In this example,
00:33
when nodes were previously appended in this model,
00:35
junctions were placed where the pumps
00:37
in treatment plant should be.
00:40
Since the auto pipe delete preference is disabled,
00:43
you can delete these junctions without deleting the attached pipes
00:48
zoom into the area. In the model where the water treatment plant is to be placed,
00:53
you can also minimize the message board to make it easier to see the model.
00:58
Then on the info water Pro ribbon
01:00
in the edit panel, expand the edit dropdown and select delete node,
01:07
delete the three nodes that will be replaced by the pumps and reservoir.
01:12
You can now digitize the two remaining pumps
01:16
on the info Water Pro ribbon
01:18
in the edit panel, expand the insert dropdown and select pump.
01:24
Then in the map to insert a pump hover the cursor over the pipes where a note
01:29
is until the info water pro snapping tool indicates that you are at a pipe end point,
01:36
a red square and pipe colon endpoint is displayed
01:41
this places a pump at the exact endpoint of the pipe.
01:47
When you are asked if you wish to insert a pump into the pipe,
01:50
choose no because you do not want to split the pipe
01:53
as the pumps need to be placed on the ends of the pipes.
01:57
Choosing no ensures that the pumps are added
01:60
adjacent to the pipe without splitting it.
02:03
If you accidentally select, yes,
02:05
you will see a could not split the pipe warning. In
02:09
this case, you can repeat the pump insertion step.
02:13
Then in the new pump information dialogue,
02:15
accept the default id and description which were set in the project preferences.
02:22
Repeat these steps for the second pipe end point and insert a second pump.
02:28
Adding the reservoir is similar to adding the pumps
02:32
on the info water pro ribbon
02:34
in the edit panel, expand the insert, drop down and select reservoir
02:40
in the map to place the reservoir hover the cursor over the pipes until
02:45
the info water pro snapping tool indicates you are at a pipe in point.
02:50
Then click to place a reservoir at the exact endpoint of the pipe.
02:55
When you are asked if you wish to insert a reservoir into the pipe choose. No.
02:60
Again, you do not want to split the pipe,
03:03
then accept the default id and description.
03:08
Now that the pumps and reservoir have been added, you will need to red
03:12
digitize the pipes so that they are indicating the correct direction.
