Codes to remember

In order to store attribute data for the network dataset nodes, I have decided to use codes in the database to differentiate each point from another. These are the codes I am using for reference:

5555 - stairway
4444 - building exit
3333 - hallway node
2222 - elevator
1111 - null

If the 'ID' attribute of the floor junctions shapefile has a 3 integer number then it is assumed to be a room number, not a code. I am hoping that using this will allow Jianfei to differentiate in his program a little easier, and give him a way to connect and represent important connection points.

Here is a screengrab of the 3d network dataset created using ArcScene, I was going to post it yesterday but Blogger was acting up:
