exported as IWS files or saved to the database object.
00:21
Because settings configured within the properties and themes,

will be lost when the GEO plan is closed,
00:29
it is imperative to save changes properly.
00:32
If you wish to access them again
00:35
to begin open session two, bridge net's GEO plan and edit a theme, you wish to save

In InfoWorks WS Pro, customizable themes enhance the visibility of results and other model data displayed on a GeoPlan. Themes can be set as a default appearance for network models, exported as IWS files, or saved to the database object.
IMPORTANT: Settings configured within the Properties and Themes dialog box are lost once the current GeoPlan is closed, so it is imperative to save changes properly for future access.
