SEARCH TOPOLOGY ELEMENTS

• Modless dialog

• Topology elements: node names, setion names …

• Search In Layout

• Search in Longitudinal sections

• Auto Zoom in

• Fast algorythm for large systems


Urbano Configurations


Customisation of configurations

• Interesting table views configuration


Decorations in long sections


Urbano Topology


Creating network topology

• Interactive drawing of nodes and pipes• Topology is created automatically• From node to node• Sequence of sections• Connecting to existing manholes• Braking pipes with new manholes• Connect new sections to existing sections• Constant length of the sections


Editing Network Topology

• Node editing• Movement• Inserting new node• Erasing Node• Name change – single node• Name change – nodes in array

• Branch editing• Reversing of flow direction• Erasing hole branch

• Array editing

• Section editing


Move, copy, rotate topology

• Move• whole system, one node or selection • terrain heights will be recalculated

according to DTM

• Copy• System, one or more topology element• Copies also elements data as an option• Recalculation of data according to new

terrain position

• Rotate• By apsolute angle• By reference angle


Labeling


Intuitive labeling dialogs

• Various labeling selections

• Interactive labeling

• Recreation of labels

• Label reposition

• Unlimited number of various data can be added to channel label

• Dynamic Station labeling


Automatic labeling reposition

Before reposition After reposition


RepositoryDisk & Network


Disk & Network Repository

• Sharing configurations

• Catalogs and associated files exchange

• Disk Based version

• Network based version• LAN• VPN• WWW


Network Repository

• Storage for• General Urbano settings• Congigurations

• Labels• Previews• Longitudinal Sections • Cross Sections• User data• Intersections• Automatic invert definition

• Important files: blocks, symbols• Cataloges


Data ModelData Selections: Branches, Arrays, From node to node, From Query


Data types

• Geometry, general properties

• User data• Available arbitrary number of User

data

• Virtual data • Can be defined for topo elements• Lot’s of operators for calculations and

logical functions

• Custom data• Available for every Urbano topology

element (node, section polygon)• Three custom dana fields


AutoCAD blocks conversion

• Capture necessary data if initial drawing is made of AutoCAD blocks• Blocks represent manholes• Blocks carry terrain elevation

data and some additional data in definition

• Level line data from block is transferred to pipes

• Specific network topology is automatically created


CATALOGS

• very important point of program functionality

• different elements stored and available for using in different functions

• we have been improving the functionality and adding new possibilities to make catalogs easier to work with


TERRAFORM

• Arbitrary number of Surfaces from:• ACAD points• Points from Database• SHP• MapInfo• Txt file

• Create import configurations

• Create preview Styles

• Store to Disk/Networ Repository


Raster Manager

• Organise huge amount of underlay raster images

• Manipulate with underlay raster images

• Supported types:• TIF• GIF• JPG• ECW• GeoTiff


Drawing Manager

• Handle External Refference or Underlay Data:• AutoCAD DWG• Microstation DGN• Adobe PDF• Autodesk DWF

• Define dana boundary display

• Define layers display


Draw / Edit House Connections


Dynamic DesignLayout and Long sections automatic dynamic model


Dynamic model

• Completly dynamicaly

• Any change in any view automatically updated in all other views

• Fast and accurate

• Allows any change at any time


PIPE INVERT DEFINITION

• In gravitational sewage systems pipe invert line influences flow velocity (usual range 0,5 – 4 m/s)• i.e. small flow velocity causes

settling• i.e. high velocity impacts pipe

stability

• Level line position definition is very important in sewage design:• Interactive in Urbano long

sections• Automatic Urbano Algorithm for

pipe invert line


AUTOMATIC PIPE INVERT DEFINITION

• Important parameters for level line• Minimum and Maximum depth

condition• Respecting terrain slope

• Just Minimum and Maximum slope depth

• Min. and Max. Slope debth but following terrain slope

• Inserting nodes in steep network parts

• Already defined pipe inverts• Favor cascades• Favor cascade with parameters


Long Sections Advantages


Long Sections Manager

• Moving

• Erasing

• Repositioning

• Configuration change


Auxiliary elements in longitudinal sections

• Draw auxiliary elements to all longitudinal sections at once:• Vertical lines• Horizontal lines• Terrain parallel

Elevation Marks


Overlapped text in longitudinal sections

• Text shifting adjustment

• Connection lines

• Intersection manhole - pipe


ANALYSIS


System Analysis and System Check


INTERSECTIONS (CLASHES)

• Clashes between different pipe systems• Label intersections in layout• Marking and zooming to

intersections• Collision Analysis

• respective to clash or collision, • respective to predefined distance

also considered as clash of infrastructue

• Respective to pipe position (i.e. if sewage above water … not allowed)

• Intersections with pure ACAD entities


PIPE AND POLYGON INTERSECTIONS

• Buffer polygon topology analysis

• Overlay polygon topology analysis

• Crossings (intersection points) between linear and polygon topology in longitudional sections


Dragg & Dropp Querry

• Query can be drag and dropped to following dialogs:• Previews• Labels• Styles• Input data – level line elevation• Input data – pipes• Input data – slopes• Input data – manholes• Input data – trench• Input data – upper layers
