service area

[neam]

Hi everyone

Is there a service area like Arcmap available for AutoCAD map 3d(Analysis length on network)?

There is a flood trace in the map 3d, but the length cannot be determined like an arc.

Hi @neam 

Please explain what you mean by ‘service area.’ When you say AREA it sounds like you need an answer in terms of square meters (or square feet).

Could your  service area be also called a buffer?

Can you upload a sample drawing with an explanation of what you need?

Hi chicagolooper 

I want to show a specific length from specify point (for example: 1350 meter) on the network of main and secondary pipe lines.

Of course, I raised this problem in the map 3d forum so that maybe it can be solved by creating a topology.

But it seems that this is not possible in map 3d (network topology).

The point specified by the user can be at the beginning of one pipe(polyline) and at the end of another pipe(polyline) at the same time (green polyline and red polyline).

But surely the point selected by the user will not be somewhere else on the polyline.

I want to specify the start point ,then program to select the polylines that are in contact with it and to show a point on the main pipes and branches.

and all the main pipes' Polylines and all sub pipes' polylines no contain arc segments.

Sorry if my English is poor.

If my explanation is not complete, I am ready to explain more.

In arcmap It takes the desired length and start point then finds it in the branches of the network and displays the found range as a buffer.

Of course, the buffer is not important to me at all.

It is important that the desired length is found on the main polylines and the polylines branching from it on all the polylines around the point that the user specifies.

i am curious about this because i have not worked with network topologies until now. can you provide a screen shot of your "Network Analysis->Flood Trace->Resistance and Direction" settings that you used (see below)?

 

TIA

I apologize It's russian langhuich.

Suppose we want to determine the location of fire hydrants for a city pipe network.

According to the standard, each fire hydrant covers 150 meters from its surroundings.

So, with a 150-meter buffer, the range of the first valve is determined, and with a 300-meter buffer, the installation location of the next valve is determined.

As it is clear in the video, we can use the distance (length) parameter instead of the time parameter.

Wow. That's good. Here's another, totally different, scenario.

I just bought a house and the previous owner installed too many water sprinklers in the back yard. There are so many sprinklers haphazardly placed that the soil can't absorb it all and puddles are formed. When my sprinklers are running the neighborhood kids begin to line up wondering if they can play in my yard......Like it's a Wet-N-Wild water park.

I draw my yard and include the location of each sprinkler head--all sprinklers are the same model. I create a sprinkler head topology with a buffer consistent with the 'coverage' provided by the manufacturer specs.

My point topology reveals the yard is adequately watered. Every blade of grass gets wet and judging from the puddles, it gets too wet. Waayyy too wet.

Does my Map3D topology identify which sprinklers I can remove? I don't want to remove too many or the wrong ones because it might result in 'dry spots' and I don't want to keep unnecessary sprinkler heads that will continue to make puddles.

Your thoughts? Should I charge admission?

Hi ChicagoLooper:

Your text was so beautiful that it reminded me of Shakespeare's writings.😊😊

Maybe I should have raised this topic in the Microsoft Word forum.😁😁

This is an example.
If the distance of 150 meters is too tight, it can be changed to 1500 meters.
