Editing polyline sets

You can graphically edit polylines in a view using the tools available on the floating palette.

To manually create/edit nodes of a polyline, use the Edit... option in the context menu of the polyline set. The Edit... option opens a form in which you can manually edit the node locations in a table. Each polyline has its own Id in the table.

The Polyline form consists of two distinct sections: the header section at the top of the form, where you may specify information like the polyline name, and the data entry tables on the bottom of the form where you may enter the actual polyline definition.

Polyline header data

Model Select the model which has the polyline set you want to edit.

Polyline set Select the name of the polyline set you want to edit in the drop-down list.

Polyline ID and node data

For the first polyline in the set, enter 0 in the first row of the Polyline table, and then use the Nodes table to enter the coordinates and depth for each node in the polyline curve. There should be one row in the Nodes table for each point on the polyline.

For each additional polyline in the set, enter another sequential number (automatically set to 1, 2, etc.) in the Polyline table and the associated node coordinates in the Nodes table.

Only the nodes for the selected Polyline Id are displayed in the table.

You can verify the Id of a polyline that is displayed in a view by creating a LineId property for the polyline set. To do this, open the context menu of the polyline set and select Properties > Default Geometry Properties > Line id. The Line id property is added to the polyline set in the JewelExplorer. Check its checkbox. Now activate the probe tool

(located in the toolbar at the top of the view) and hover over the polyline to read off its Id.

To review or edit existing node entries for each polyline, click on its Id in the Polyline table. The nodes of the selected polyline are displayed in the table where they can be edited.

A 'Closed' column, located next to the Id column, indicates whether a polyline is closed (i.e. a polygon) or not. When a polyline is closed, its checkbox is automatically checked.

When you are finished entering the node coordinates for all polylines in the set, click the OK button to add the edited polyline set to your model. If there are problems with your entries, you will see an error message in the Output Information pane.
