Map Feature Definition with Modelbuilder

There is a Feature Definition setting in the ModelBuilder Wizard. You will need to build out the logic on the first page to separate the nodes by diameter. 

 This does require a shapefile with points. If you only have the linear elements there is a more generic node Feature Definition selected in that wizard for missing nodes

When used, that will not adjust for additional information.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the response Steve, when you say "build out the logic on the first page" could you provide the syntax required for that?

I assume it has to do with checking the "WHERE:" box?

Yes. The WHERE is a SQL query clause. You can do a web search for additional syntax. The general format is to include a column and value you want to filter. 

COLUMN NAME='Desired Value'

So to sort for just the water valves in my little data set

I can include:

NODETYPE='Control Valve'

yielding the following

I presume that you can get to be pretty complex in the syntax. In the development work I have done on this, we always have at least one column that is a 1-to-1 with our Feature Definitions, so I haven't done anything much more complex than a single query.

Thank you Steve!
