Introduction
Most of the descriptions included in this manual up to this point have been designed to help the guys on site in the CCTV truck work as effectively as possible to maintain efficiency and profitability during the works.
...
It is essential the section Using WinCan VX with WinCan Map is considered in detail before working through this section.

Plotting Uncharted Assets
There will often be instances where you need to create objects (pipes and nodes) in WinCan VX that do not exist in the loaded data, either because there simply is no existing data on the system for the stretch of highway that you are working on or because you because there is data, but you have located uncharted assets.

Connecting a Lateral to a Main
Now, let’s extend the previous inspections so that it has some connection code in the inspection data at 25m (at 2 o’clock) and 32m (at 10 o’clock), and there are some gullies on each side of the central reserve plotted in the data, like this:
...
The icon shows you that a lateral is tied in here and double clicking on this link will take you straight to that lateral in the other grid view, and there is also a button with an ‘up’ triangle arrow in the lateral grid view which will bring you bak to the section that this lateral is linked to.

Advice - although this technique does not really appear to make a great difference to the data and the drainage network design, it’s power is that because the laterals and the section are now tied together, when we introduce the GIS data at a future point and in that data, the 2 gullies and the 2 catchpits now have new coordinates in 3 dimensions (so far, everything has had no Z value here), the shape geometry of the sections and laterals will be modified and the coordinates of the connector nodes will be replotted, so everything will stay tied together when the new positions are introduced. If you do not make the lateral links, then the lateral pipes will become detached from the section when the new positions are brough brought in and it becomes very (unnecessarily) time consuming to re-attach them all. |
There are some additional techniques for joining objects together using the snapping tools in WinCan Map, but these are more usually used by data processing teams, and will be described in Snapping Objects in WinCan Map.
