When working with an open network, along with adjusting single network object properties from the property sheets,
00:10
you can view and edit the properties of multiple network objects using grid views.
00:17
Grids are spreadsheet-style data tables of objects in the network that are divided into groups,
00:23
and each group contains grids for one class of object and related sub-objects.
00:30
To complete this exercise, import 1D Sewer Network.isfm and open it on the GeoPlan,
00:38
or use an existing network that you have available.
00:43
There are several methods you can use to open a grid view for all the nodes in this network.
00:49
From the Windows toolbar, expand the Grid windows button.
00:53
The list of object classes is at the top of this menu, and it includes nodes, links, subcatchments,
01:01
polygons, lines, points, and results.
01:06
For this exercise, click New nodes window.
01:10
All of the nodes from the network display in a spreadsheet-style grid window.
01:15
You can also open grids from the main menu.
01:19
Select Window > Grid Windows, and then select the type,
01:24
New nodes window.
01:26
Or open directly from the Modelling Grid Windows toolbar.
01:30
The same grid displays.
01:32
If you already have an object or objects selected, holding down the Ctrl key while opening the relevant object grid window
01:39
and it will only contain those objects that are selected.
01:43
Also note when you have a grid window active, the grid menu becomes active
01:49
which contains some additional features.
01:51
Columns can be reordered, and you can cut, copy, or paste whole columns or sections of data.
01:59
Values can be modified individually or in bulk.
02:03
For example, to increase all values in a column by 5%,
02:08
click the column header to select the entire column.
02:12
Right-click anywhere in the column and select Current Cell(s) > Adjust current value(s) for cell(s).
02:19
In the Adjust cell(s) value dialog, enter a Value of 5, enable Adjust by a percentage, and then click OK.
02:29
In the grid, the values adjust accordingly.
02:33
If you have Auto-flagging turned on in the toolbar, the column you just modified now has your flag color.
02:40
To change a flag, select the relevant cells—in this case, the column—then right-click the selection and click Flags.
02:49
In the flyout, select the new flag.
02:53
Close the Node grid window.
02:55
As another example of easily adjusting values, increase the pipe width by 150mm.
03:03
First, open a links grid by selecting Window > Grid Windows > New links window.
03:09
Notice at the bottom of the window you can select tabs for different types of links.
03:15
Find the Width column and click the header to select the column.
03:20
Right-click in any highlighted cell and select Current Cell(s) value > Adjust current value(s) for cell(s).
03:28
In the Adjust Cell(s) dialog, enter a Value of 150.
03:33
Enable Adjust by an absolute value, select Add, and then click OK.
03:40
This can be useful to quickly test the impact of upsizing pipes.
03:45
In large grids, the Find tool makes it easier to locate specific columns.
03:51
For example, open the node grid again to change the flood type.
03:56
Right-click any column header, select Find Column, and in the Find Column in Grid dialog, select Flood Type.
04:06
Click OK to locate the column.
04:09
Click the header to select the column, right-click a cell, and select Current Cell(s) value > Set New Value(s) for Cell(s).
04:18
In the New Cell Value dialog, select Stored, and then click OK.
04:24
These functions can be carried out on the entire column, a selection or an individual field.
04:31
Note you can use the undo button to revert any changes that have been made.
04:36
To remove all changes since the last commit there is a revert all changes option
04:42
which can be found by right clicking on the network icon.
04:46
Changes cannot be recovered once this option has been selected.
