Merging Events

You can merge two or more line events using the Merge Events tool available in the Roadway Characteristics Editor. Upon succeessful execution, the tool merges multiple adjoining events into an existing target event. All the input events except the target event retire.The merged event acquires the lowest value of From Measure and highest value of To Measure fields from the input events by default. If a gap exists between the input events, the gap is bridged in the merged event. You can edit the attributes of the merged layer prior to committing the merge.
