I have a pipe network that has been cut in arbitary locations along its length. i need to join sections of pipe together that have the same diameter and bearing (angle to north). The data just shows it cut into sections, where in reality (in the ground) its one piece of pipe.
I have used the azimuth calcuator to calc the bearing of each pipe section. i have then used a spatail relator (TOUCHES) to establish the pipe sections at either end of my candidate pipe and their bearing and ID's.
Im struggling how to proceed from here. How do i join 2 or more sections that pass my tests together (same diameter, same bearing). The pipe secitons dont have any common ID ?
I do have IDs of what pipes are at either end of my candidate pipe. ie excuse my diagram
A B C D
--------I----------I---------I--------- should end up like
A

Many Thanks for your assistance
