About Selecting a Type Field

Features within a single layer can be treated differently using a field to distinguish between feature types. For example, if a layer represents a hydrology network with centerlines, culverts, and connectors, two of the features types could be excluded from the breakline enforcement (i.e., culverts, and connectors). This is accomplished by selecting a field in the database that represents these feature types.
