I have been trying to find out if it is possible to trace through a water network that will consist of line features representing water mains. Tools exist in both QGIS and ArcGIS to help with this and I can set start, end, and barriers
Does anyone know if it is possible to use an attribute value in another feature i.e. 'closed' in a Valves feature, for example, to act as a barrier that the network tracing functionality would recognize? Often valves are maintained in a closed position to assist with water network operations and management and it would be useful to be able to somehow read that status of a valve when carrying out a network trace
