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 unlimited sewer networks. If any portions of the these
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
unlimited 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 location 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. The Report Crossings and Report Collisions buttons would show
all the pipe crossings and collisions in a formatted
report.

When the Use Collision
Navigator toggle is on, an Data Problem Log is generated if
there are 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
button 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.
