Model Building in ArcMap Using Standard GIS Editor Toolbar

Another way to prepare a SWMM network model in GeoSWMM is by utilizing the ArcMap Editor toolbar. When the user doesn't have any model information, but it can be manually generated from the raw field data or GIS maps, the model can be developed using the Editor. Under this condition, the user may start creating or editing features in the project geodatabase layers and then populates the input data fields. After all of the features are successfully digitized and assigned with suitable attributes, the model can be generated by clicking on the Reload (

) button on the GeoSWMM toolbar. Significant effort might be required to digitilize all the elements and populate the object properties with this approach; however, when the model is small or schematic, applying this approach could be useful for a SWMM user.
