Annotate Ripple
The video from “Spatial Engineer 11” focuses on a tutorial about annotating Ripple effects on spatial engineering projects, specifically emphasizing the process of annotation in relation to copper pedestals and terminals. The presenter begins by referencing a previous setup of Ripple and proceeds to demonstrate how to enhance visibility of Ripple effects on these specific components through the software’s functionality.
Key steps include:
- Accessing the work order section and selecting the splicing option.
- Choosing the “annotate Ripple” feature after viewing Ripple, which prompts the user to select a GIS inserted utility facility or cable.
- Selecting the terminal or insertion point for annotation and positioning it strategically for clarity and future reference, potentially for construction sheets that illustrate the Ripple’s impact on the cable and plant infrastructure.
The tutorial highlights that while the initial view Ripple function annotates down the line, it does not automatically annotate copper pedestals and terminals. The process of annotating these components involves manual selection and placement to visualize the effects comprehensively. The presenter concludes by reassuring viewers that the process is straightforward, encourages questions, and hints at the possibility of re-annotation if necessary due to prior erasures.
