Accessing object properties from the GeoPlan

00:03

After opening a network in the GeoPlan, you can view and edit the properties of network objects using property sheets.

00:11

Property sheets allow you to edit the properties of an object.

00:16

To complete this exercise either, create a new network and import 1D Sewer Network.isfm or open an existing network in the GeoPlan.

00:28

To view and edit all data for a particular object, open the corresponding property sheet.

00:35

On the GeoPlan Tools toolbar, click the Information tool, and then select the object—in this case, a node—from the GeoPlan.

00:45

Alternatively, you can double click the object with the select tool active.

00:51

If your model view is zoomed out or multiple objects intersect when you click in the GeoPlan, a Multiple Selection window appears.

01:01

From here, you can select the single object you want.

01:05

The Object Properties Window opens to display data for the node, such as ground level, and chamber area.

01:13

Each row has a value field, an inline validation box for highlighting errors, and a flag field for tracking data sources.

01:23

Here in this example, there are no additional flags set, except for the #D flag.

01:30

To edit any value simply type in the field or select a new value from the available drop-down menu.

01:38

By default, the Properties window is docked on the left side of the interface with the Database window.

01:45

To move it, click the Properties title bar and drag the window to a different location.

01:51

Drop it to dock the window in the location highlighted in blue.

01:56

To return the Properties window to its default location, drag the title bar back to the bottom left of the screen.

Finally, if you have simulation results available,

you can toggle between the object properties and object results view by clicking the Show Results tool.
