Scenarios can be used to model variations of a network simultaneously without the need to create separate branch networks.
00:11
Scenarios can be a useful tool to investigate the impact of different parameters, for example, increasing pipe sizes.
00:19
Scenarios can also be useful for quality assurance
00:22
because multiple users can work independently in their own scenario until the work has been checked and reviewed.
00:28
Once it has been signed off, you can integrate the scenario into the Base network, making changes available to all users.
00:36
Because scenarios are derived from a Base network, they do not appear in the Explorer window as separate entities.
00:43
Instead, they are saved within the Base network
00:47
and viewed by opening the Base network and selecting the scenario from the Scenarios toolbar.
00:52
To create a scenario, in the Scenarios toolbar, click Create scenario,
00:58
or, in the Network menu, click Scenarios, then Create scenario.
01:04
In the Create new scenario dialog, add a New scenario name and any meaningful Notes about the scenario.
01:12
Click OK to save the scenario.
01:16
Verify that your new scenario is selected in the Scenarios toolbar as well as in the GeoPlan window.
01:22
You can now make changes to the elements in the scenario without affecting the Base network.
01:28
Each scenario is a copy of the Base network, unless you create a scenario as a copy of another scenario.
01:35
All changes made to a scenario are independent.
01:38
Scenarios can be made to construct unique situations, which can then be run in a simulation and compared.
01:44
When scenarios are copied from the Base network, they maintain data inheritance from the Base.
01:51
Consequently, any changes made to the Base network are replicated automatically in all associated scenarios,
01:57
except where an element is changed in a scenario that you created.
02:02
Use the tools in the Scenarios toolbar to delete, rename, or manage scenarios.
02:08
The Manage scenarios dialog offers several tools,
02:12
such as comparing scenarios using Diff or making the selected scenario the new Base using Reintegrate.
02:19
Note that this is a destructive action, as the original Base will be overwritten.
