When there are two or more sewer networks in one area, it's very
important to know if there are any collisions among pipe lines. The
Collision Conflicts Check command performs a three dimensional
check on sewer networks. If any portions of the two systems are too
close to each other, i.e their distance is closer than the safety
buffer, the conflicting pipes and their collision locations would
be reported. The program also checks for any collisions within the
same sewer network. Besides checking sewer networks, the Check Pipe
3D Polylines option will check for collisions with 3D polylines
that have been tagged as pipes with the Assign Pipe Data To
Polyline command.
From the Network > Check Sewer Network menu in the Hydrology
Module, select Collision Conflicts Check. In the dialog, select two
or more network files that you want to check the collisions and/or
turn on the Check Pipe 3D Polylines toggle. In the Conflict
Tolerance box, specify the value of the distance buffer that any
two of the sewer systems shouldn't violate. The Use Collision
Navigator toggle provides an Data Problem Log dialog to navigate
you to the locations of every collision, otherwise the collisions
would reported in Carlson standard report format. Draw Collision
Symbols and Draw Crossing Symbols option would draw a symbol at
each collision or crossing. Choose the Report Crossing or Report
Collisions options would include the details of each pipe crossing
or collision in the standard report.

When the Use Collision Navigator toggle is on, an Data Problem
Log is generated if the Collision Conflicts Check finds any
collisions. Clicking to the "+" sign beside the Collisions Total
will display the individual collisions. When a collision item is
selected, click on Zoom To button and the drawing is centered to
the exact location of the highlighted collision. Zoom In button
zooms in on the highlighted collision for a closer inspection. Zoom
Out zooms out away from the collision. Report All/One toggles
between One and All depending on whether a single collision or all
collisions are selected from the Log. An error Report is generated
listing the positions of the entities in conflict.
