Often, you will need to manually add nodes and links to an existing network.
00:08
InfoWorks ICM includes facilities for rapidly adding nodes and links to the GeoPlan
00:14
without having to name each object or view the object property sheet.
00:18
In this tutorial, you add two pump links to the existing network.
00:23
To complete this exercise, open the transportable database .icmt file for this tutorial.
00:29
To start, in the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, click the Find in GeoPlan icon.
00:36
Using the Quick Find option, in the Name field, type “TF91299301", and then click Find.
00:45
The model zooms in on the pumping station.
00:48
Repeat the Quick Find operation or pan and zoom the model to locate the Inlet that you will create a pump link for.
00:55
Be aware that you must draw from the pump link to the inlet, as it is a unidirectional link.
01:01
From the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, expand the New Object Type drop-down and select Link.
01:08
In the GeoPlan, zoom in and then hover the cursor over the pumping station until you see the crosshair appear.
01:15
Click to start the link.
01:18
Zoom out and drag the link towards the inlet.
01:22
Click once near the inlet to create a bend, and then hover the cursor over the inlet until the crosshair appears.
01:30
Click to close the link.
01:33
In the Create New Link dialog, you can confirm the upstream and downstream node IDs.
01:40
Optionally, you can enter a Suffix, but ICM will automatically create one if needed.
01:46
Expand the Type drop-down and select Pump, and then click OK.
01:52
The new pump link appears in the GeoPlan, and the Properties for it also open, which you can edit.
01:59
Follow the same steps to add another pump between the same two nodes.
02:04
Leave some space between the links so you can visually identify the separate pump links.
02:10
There are red in-line validation errors for missing parameters for the two new pumps.
02:16
From the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, click the Select tool and then double-click the first pump link that you just added.
02:24
In the Properties window, for the Switch on level, enter 28.200.
02:30
For the Switch off level, enter 28.000, and for the Discharge value, enter 0.036.
02:40
Then, double-click the second pump link and enter these values in the Properties window:
02:59
Click Validate to validate the network.
03:02
You should see only yellow warning and blue information messages.
03:07
Click Commit to commit the changes to the new network.
03:11
Add a comment of "2 pump links added", and then click OK.
