Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches Command

In GeoSTORM software, the Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches command allows the user to automatically renumber routing reaches and connected routing junctions along a defined pipe path.

Follow the steps below to use the Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches command:

1. From the Input ribbon menu, click on the Routing Reaches dropdown menu and select the Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches command.
   
2. The Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches dialog box will be displayed, as shown below.
   

The following sections describe how to use the Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches command and interact with the above dialog box.

Selecting Routing Reaches

The Select Routing Reaches panel allows the user to select routing reaches that define the pipe path.

Selecting Multiple (Interconnected) Routing Reaches

This section is used to sequentially number routing reaches and routing junctions along the selected pipe path that has routing reaches connected end-to-end with each other.

Click the [Pick] button to manually select routing reaches from the Map View. The Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches dialog box will temporarily disappear, allowing the user to select the downstream most and upstream most routing reaches from the Map View. Once finished, press the [Enter] key or right-click and choose Done from the displayed context menu. The dialog box will be redisplayed, and the total number of selected routing reaches will be shown in the Total selected read-only field, as shown below.

Alternatively, if routing reaches are pre-selected on the Map View, opening the Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches dialog box will show those routing reaches selected in the corresponding table section. The selected routing reaches can be unselected by unchecking the checkboxes corresponding to them.

Note that the user can pre-select multiple routing reaches from the Map View by pressing and holding down the [Ctrl] key while selecting the routing reaches.

Manual Editing

This section contains a table that displays the selected routing reaches, routing junctions, and associated data. The values in the New Routing Reach ID and New Routing Junction ID columns provide a preview of the renumbered routing reaches and routing junctions defined in the Routing Reach Renumbering and Routing Junction Renumbering panels.

The data contained in the table can be copied to the clipboard or exported as a Microsoft Excel or PDF document by using the Copy Table to Clipboard, Export Table to Excel, or Export Table to PDF commands of the right-click context menu.

Routing Reach Renumbering

The Routing Reach Renumbering panel allows the user to renumber routing reaches based on routing reach length or sequentially. By default, the checkbox on this panel is checked. If unchecked, then the content of this panel will be disabled (i.e. grayed out) and the renumbering of routing reaches cannot be performed.

The following options are provided in this panel:

• Routing reach ID prefix: This optional checkbox entry allows a prefix to be added to the routing reach ID.
• Routing reach ID suffix: This optional checkbox entry allows a suffix to be added to the routing reach ID.
• Routing reach ID preview: This read-only field provides a preview of the routing reach ID defined in the panel.
• Numbering direction: This dropdown combo box allows the user to select the flow direction in which the routing reach IDs can be renumbered. The following options are available:
  1. Downstream
  2. Upstream

Use Auto Increment

The Use auto increment subsection allows the user to renumber routing reaches using a fixed increment. Select the Use auto increment radio button option to enable this subsection.

The following options are provided in this subsection:

• Routing reach ID digits: This entry field allows the user to set the number of digits to be used for routing reach ID. For example, using 3 digits causes the routing reach ID to be of the format 001, 002, and 003.
• Next available routing reach ID: This entry field defines the next routing reach ID number to be used.
• Routing reach ID increment: This entry field defines the increment to use when numbering routing reaches. The default value is 1.

Use Routing Reach Length

The Use routing reach length subsection is used to renumber routing reaches based on their length along the defined pipe path. By default, the Use routing reach length radio button option is selected when the Routing Reach Renumbering panel is checked.

The following options are provided in this subsection:

• Upstream routing reach ID: This entry provides a routing reach ID that will be used as the upstream most routing reach number.
  
  Note that if the Downstream option is selected in the Numbering direction dropdown combo box, then the Downstream routing reach ID entry will change into the Upstream routing reach ID, as shown below.
  

• Distance units: This dropdown combo box defines the unit of routing reach length. The available options are:
  1. Feet
  2. Miles
• Decimal precision: This optional checkbox entry defines the decimal precision that will be used in renumbering routing reaches. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. If checked, then the user can enter a value ranging from 0 to 15.

After defining all the required data in this panel, click the [Preview] button to preview the IDs of the renumbered routing reaches in the New Routing Reach ID column of the Manual Editing table, as shown below.

Routing Junction Renumbering

The Routing Junction Renumbering panel allows the user to renumber routing junctions based on routing reach length or sequentially. By default, the checkbox on this panel is checked. If unchecked, then the content of this panel will be disabled (i.e., grayed out) and the renumbering of routing junctions cannot be performed.

The following options are provided in this data panel:

• Routing junction ID prefix: This optional checkbox entry allows a prefix to be added to the routing junction ID.
• Routing junction ID suffix: This optional checkbox entry allows a suffix to be added to the routing junction ID.
• Routing junction ID preview: This read-only field provides a preview of the routing junction ID defined in this panel.
• Numbering direction: This dropdown combo box allows the user to select the flow direction in which the routing junction IDs can be renumbered. The following options are available:
  1. Downstream
  2. Upstream

Use Auto Increment

The Use auto increment subsection allows the user to renumber routing junctions using a fixed increment. Select the Use auto increment radio button option to enable this subsection.

The following options are provided in this subsection:

• Routing junction ID digits: This entry allows the user to set the number of digits to be used for the routing junction ID. For example, using 3 digits causes the routing junction ID to be of the format 001, 002, and 003.
• Next available routing junction ID: This entry field defines the next routing junction ID number to be used.
• Routing junction ID increment: This entry field defines the increment to use when numbering routing junctions. The default value is 1.

Use Routing Reach Length

The Use routing reach length subsection is used to renumber routing junctions based on their length along the defined pipe path. By default, the Use routing reach length radio button option is selected when the Routing Junction Renumbering panel is checked.

The following options are provided in this subsection:

• Upstream routing reach ID: This entry provides a routing junction ID that will be used as the upstream most routing junction number.
  
  Note that if the Downstream option is selected in the Numbering direction dropdown combo box, then the Downstream routing junction ID entry will change into the Upstream routing junction ID, as shown below.
  

• Distance units: This dropdown combo box defines the unit of routing reach length. The available options are:
  1. Feet
  2. Miles
• Decimal precision: This optional checkbox entry defines the decimal precision that will be used in renumbering routing junctions. By default, this checkbox is unchecked. If checked, then the user can enter a value ranging from 0 to 15.

After defining all the required data in this panel, click the [Preview] button to preview the IDs of the renumbered routing junctions in the New Routing Junction ID column of the Manual Editing table, as shown below.

When all the required data have been defined in the Renumber Interconnected Routing Reaches dialog box, click the [Apply] button. The software will then assign the user-defined changes to the routing reaches and connected routing junctions along a defined pipe path. Click the [Close] button to close the dialog box.

Note that when the user clicks the [Preview] button and then clicks the [Close] button without applying the changes, the following Renumber Entities confirmational dialog box will be displayed, as shown below.
