Merge Linear Asset Tool

The Merge Linear Asset tool is the opposite of the Split Linear Asset tool. Rather than splitting a single asset into two, you make a single new asset out of two existing assets. Each of the original asset records is expired.

Distances on the new, merged asset will be measured from the start of the first asset that you specify. For eample, if you merge Roadway 1, which is 35 miles long, with Roadway 2, which is 12 miles long, mile 0 of the original Roadway 2 becomes mile 35 of the new roadway. Thus, a sign that was position 5 miles from the start of the original Roadway 2 is now 40 miles from the start of the merged roadway.

Note: "Merge Linear Asset" is a generic name for this form. The actual name will depend on the name of the agency-defined asset.
