Re-digitizing newly connected pipes

Step-by-step:

In a configured modeling project, once you have added features to the system, you need to ensure the pipe direction is correct. This is because the pipe direction dictates the direction that a pump operates, therefore, you will have to redraw all these pipes from the reservoir towards the system.

In this model, pumps and a reservoir have just been added. The next step is to re-digitize the pipes, so they connect to the newly created pumps and reservoir.

1. From the InfoWater Pro ribbon, Edit panel, select Edit > Redraw Pipe.
   
2. In the map, select the pipe to re-draw.
3. Select the node on which to start the pipe.
   
4. Double-click the node on which to finish the pipe.
   
5. Repeat this process for the other two pipes.
6. In the Contents pane, Pipe layer, double-click Domain.
   
7. In the Symbology dialog box, select Arrow at End.
   
8. Click Properties.
9. Change the symbol color to red.
10. Increase the line thickness to 10 pt.
11. Click Apply.
    
12. From the InfoWater Pro ribbon, Domain panel, click Enlarge Domain.
    
13. In the model, select all pipes connected to the pumps. Arrows display, indicating pipe direction.
    

By limiting this to the domain, only the pipes in your domain are displayed this way, so you can avoid unnecessary clutter.

You can now verify that all pipes connected to pumps are drawn in the correct direction quickly and easily. This is a handy feature you can use to verify the direction of key pipes in your system; especially pipes connected to pumps and valves, which must be drawn in the direction of water flow.

14. Reset domain pipes to default settings. From the ribbon, View panel, click Reset Map Display.
