Music In Network Manager Electric, field access to designs enable field crews to perform asvelts in the field during the construction phase of the project. Today we will look at a meter connection that was built differently from how it was designed. More specifically, we will show a few simple ways on how to mock up the data in the design to represent simple red lines. So as you can see, we're in a design called meter connection here up at the top. We can expand that or collapse that. Move this little bar over here on the right. Collapse that. And then from here, what we will do is we will showcase how we've already started to mock up some red lines for this design. So the location of how this design was drawn is to show the meter on the backside of the building or the home while it's actually facing away from Turkey Creek Road. What we need to do here is we want to say during the construction process, the meter was placed on the side of the home facing the road since the entrance of the home is northwest from the location and the orientation that it shows on the map. So we've already put a line to show the location of where the meter needs to be moved. And then we'll place a point on the location of the meter as well as some text to mimic just exactly what needs to be done as far as red lines are displayed in the map. So from here, we'll select point. We will reference the item in the map, specifically the meter. The location of it is going to be at the location of the meter. We will place it in a moment. Since it's already boosted up to six, we'll make it eight for the size of the point. And then we'll set the location. Now we know that the meter has been flagged and shown with blatant symbology to show the orientation of where it's at and also where it needs to go. And then next we'll place text in the map. So here what we'll need to do is we need to place a text in the map. We'll place a leader line. Place the location of where this is going to go. And we will select on the map. And then we will orientate this out and spread out to show the simplicity of the place in the objects. And then click save. And then from here, we could also see the information of the point. From this location, we could also show that the changes were going to be made during the construction process. And then that way, when it's updated in the data in the office and the information sent back, the design engineer can then update the post of the design specifically before posting directly to the parent database environment to show an actual digital twin of what's built.
