After running the Skelebrator Skeletonizer tool for Branch Collapsing the customer meters (associated with junctions that were removed) are automatically reassigned to the node that the demands were moved to. However, Skelebrator will only run against the active scenario and won't update the customer meter associated element fields for all scenarios.How can I apply the updated customer meter associated element fields to the other scenarios (that use different demand alternatives)?
It is recommended to skeletonize a model early when you don't have a lot of scenarios.For models with multiple scenarios, skeletonize the base, so that the updated associated elements will be inherited by child scenarios. Running Skelebrator on the base scenario won't update customer meters that don’t inherit properties from the Base scenario.
To update other scenarios (that use different demand alternatives) to match the base scenario's customer meter associated element field, do the following.1. Run Skelebrator on the Base scenario.2. Export customer meter labels and associated element labels to a shapefile.3. Switch to another scenario (that doesn't have the updated associated elements).4. Use ModelBuilder to import the associated element labels from that shapefile.
Note that after you run ModelBuilder the first time that run is saved to the Modelbuilder Connections Manager dialog. You can switch to another scenario (that doesn't have the updated associated elements), open the ModelBuilder Connections Manager, select that ModelBuilder run, and then click the icon "Sync-In To Model".
