In GeoSTORM software, the Merge Routing Reaches command allows the user to merge two or more connected routing reaches into a single routing reach. This can be useful when working with complex shapes that have several individual elements that need to be merged into a single entity.
This article describes how to use the Merge Routing Reaches command in GeoSTORM software.
Follow the steps below to use the Merge Routing Reaches command:
- From the Input ribbon menu, click the Routing Reaches dropdown menu and select the Merge Routing Reaches command.

- The Merge Routing Reaches dialog box will be displayed as shown below.

- The Select Routing Reaches section lists all the available routing reaches of the current scenario. From this section, check the checkboxes corresponding to the routing reaches you want to merge.

The user can also use the checkbox contained within the column header to select/deselect all the routing reaches. - Alternatively, click the [Pick] button to select the desired routing reaches from the Map View. Once finished, press [Enter] or right-click and select Done from the context menu to complete the selection. The number of selected routing reaches will be displayed in the Total selected read-only field.

Note that to abort the Map View selection process, press the [Esc] key or right-click and select Cancel from the displayed context menu. - After selecting the routing reaches, click the [Apply] button and the software will then merge all the selected routing reaches.

- If the user has selected routing reaches that are not connected along a single alignment, the following informational dialog box will be displayed on clicking the [Apply] button.
