Add Laterals Tool, SplitLateral not working

[kcarrier]

We are trying to split a lateral line for customer or street side of a curb box valve and we are unable to get SplitLateral to work as expected. ArcGIS Desktop version 10.5.1, Below is our configuration any help would be greatly appreciated. We have also contacted Esri Support and will post back if a solution is found. Thank you in advance for your help!

Ken, I think you need to use the preview builds for that. let me check

https://github.com/Esri/local-government-desktop-addins/tree/dev/PreviewBuilds

[MikeMillerGIS]

nope, was in last release - https://github.com/Esri/local-government-desktop-addins/issues/137

[MikeMillerGIS]

what is the version of the tools?

[kcarrier]

2017 3.1 water utility network tools.

2017 3.1 attribute assistant

ahhh, for the fitting at 0 distance, you need to use the second option I mention in 137, outside of the points along

  <LateralLine_SplitMain>false</LateralLine_SplitMain>

[kcarrier]

Mike I think we need a little clarification. We already have that tag in our code above PointsAlong in previous xml we posted. Does it need to be below PointsAlong?

      <!-- Option to split the main at the intersection of the lateral-->
      <LateralLine_SplitMain>false</LateralLine_SplitMain>

[MikeMillerGIS]

you want it to split, right, change to true

false

to

true

[kcarrier]

Sorry for the confusion Mike. Here is a screen shot of what we are trying to accomplish.

[MikeMillerGIS]

ok, could you send me your file and a subset of your data?

[kcarrier]

Email en route.

Thanks Ken, found this was a bug when only using Distance as Percent. Resolved it.
