Renumber Structure Names

The Renumber Structure Names routine provides an easy method to quickly rename/renumber all or part of a sewer network. Once a sewer file has been specified or set as Active via the Set Sewer File command, the following dialog box is presented.

Sewer Network File: The active sewer file that will be acted upon.

Highest Structure Name: The ID of the structure with the largest numerical value.

Selection Method: Indicate the method of which structures should be renumbered. Range allows the structures to be identified via the dialog box; Selection Set allows the structures to be identified via a graphical selection method.

Range to Process: When the Selection Method is set to Range, manually identify the structure(s) that should be part of the renumber process or click on the All button to select all structures in the network.

Renumbering Method: Indicate how structures should be renumbered. Begin From assigns the Starting Name value to the lowest structure name and increments by one until the network has been renumbered; Increment By adds the Increment value to each structure.

Note:

• Caution should be exercised when specifying a negative value for the Increment setting as duplicate structure numbers may result if the Increment value forces the renumbered structures to values less than 0.
• For network structures that do not contain a numerical value (e.g. MHA, MHB, MHC, MHD, etc.), a trailing numerical value of 1 is assumed (e.g. MHA1, MHB1, MHC1, MHD1, etc.) before the Increment process commences.
