WS pro customizable themes,
00:07
enhance the visibility of results and other model data displayed on a GEO
00:11
plan.
00:13
In this example,
00:14
you will create a theme to observe pressure
00:16
at customer points throughout a simulation period.
00:20
You will need to have some simulation results open.
00:23
Otherwise you will not be able to select or visualize the simulation fields.
00:28
Open session two and from the model group window expand run group bridgetown base
00:36
double click bridge con to open the simulation results
00:41
from the thematic key window, double click,
00:43
customer point to open the customer point theme editor
00:48
from the manager pa
00:49
select the sub themes assigned to the customer point
00:52
theme to see which rules are already applied.
00:55
From the bass theme.
00:57
The shape of the symbol used is assigned
01:01
from the customer type. Sub theme. Colors are assigned based on an SQL
01:05
query and the customer demand sub theme alters the
01:08
size of the customer point based on consumption.
01:12
For this example, disable the customer demand and customer type sub themes
01:18
from the manager pa
01:19
select each sub theme
01:21
and then from the toolbar select enable slash disable
01:26
in the confirmation dialogue. Click yes.
01:30
Now create a new sub theme
01:33
from the toolbar. Select, add new
01:36
in the name field, enter a descriptive name such as pressure,
01:41
then expand the field dropdown.
01:44
Notice that there are multiple options for simulating pressure.
01:48
The average maximum and minimum pressure values act as summaries
01:53
and do not change based on the time of day
01:57
select sim dot pressure pressure, which is a time varying value.
02:02
That means that when you step through the simulation,
02:04
the value will update based on the time of day.
02:08
Keep the range set to continuous.
02:11
You can choose to use an auto range which
02:14
automatically populates range values based on the simulation results.
02:19
If you are creating this theme to use on other models,
02:21
it can be useful to disable auto range and
02:24
manually edit the range values in the ranged themes table
02:29
to edit the range values from the table,
02:32
fix column, select toggle all for the second value and the third value.
02:38
And then in the autos scale cells set the values you wish.
02:42
In this instance, the first autos scale value is set to zero
02:46
and the last value is set to 25
02:50
to create a more granular range between zero and 25
02:54
select the zero cell and then next to value count.
02:57
Click the plus button to add values.
03:01
Click until value count reaches nine.
03:04
These values are automatically scaled between the
03:06
two fixed values you already entered.
03:09
However, be aware that you can fix any of the values. You wish,
03:13
you can also change how the values are calculated
03:16
from the table.
03:17
Click the autos scale column header to cycle
03:20
through various distribution options such as S curve,
03:24
N curve and exponential.
03:28
In the preview, review each type of distribution
03:31
set it to log.
03:34
If you want to update the colors assigned to each value,
03:38
you can do so automatically or manually
03:42
toggle between different automatic themes by
03:44
clicking the auto theme column header
03:48
to manually assign colors,
03:50
expand a color drop down next to one of the values and then select a color
03:54
or click custom to find more nuanced colors.
03:59
You can also apply other properties to the sub theme
04:03
from the property's list. Select circles,
04:07
the arranged themes table updates with a new column
04:11
next to one of the values, expand the circle's auto theme dropdown and select four
04:17
the preview updates and displays the updated value style with concentric circles.
04:23
Assign circles to other values as you wish and then click OK
04:29
back in the properties and themes. Dialogue, click OK.
04:32
To apply the changes to the current GEO plan
04:36
from the toolbar, select play.
04:40
Now that you have a theme applied based on pressure values.
04:43
Click through the timeline to see how the pressure changes over time.

In InfoWorks WS Pro, customizable themes enhance the visibility of results and other model data displayed on a GeoPlan. This example creates a theme to observe pressure at customer points throughout a simulation period.
First, open some simulation results:
For this example, disable the CustomerDemand and CustomerType sub-themes:
Now, create a new sub-theme:
To edit the range values:
To create a more granular range between 0 and 25:
To change how the values are calculated:
To update the colors assigned to each value:
To apply other properties to the sub-theme:
The Ranged Themes table updates with a new column.
The preview displays the updated value style with concentric circles.
