A GeoPlan theme allows you control how objects are displayed on the GeoPlan.
00:08
This collection of properties can be saved as the network default, or you can save it to a database project ,
00:14
to be accessed by other users and applied to other networks.
00:18
In this example, you create themes to change how the conduit and node layers are displayed on the GeoPlan.
00:24
To complete this exercise, use the 1d sewer network model,
00:28
or copy the data from the provided transportable and open it on the GeoPlan.
00:33
Right-click the GeoPlan and select Properties & Themes.
00:38
In the GeoPlan Properties & Themes dialog, the Layers and Themes tab allows you to edit the properties of each object layer.
00:45

The Layer Theme Editor opens.
00:52
The order in which sub themes appear in the Sub Theme Manager Pane of the Layer Theme Editor is extremely important

01:03
The base or default theme is applied first, and later themes may override earlier themes.
01:09
On the left, in the Sub Theme Manager Pane toolbar, click Add New.
01:14

Now, change the properties of the Nodes object layer.
02:05
On the Layers and Themes tab, Nodes row, Theme column, click Edit.
