To Specify a Site for Topology Objects

When you create a plot, alignment, feature line, or grading object, you are prompted to specify a site name.

Use the same site for all objects that share a common topology and have specific relationships to each other.

Note: Editing an object could cause changes to other objects that share the same topology.
  1. Follow the specific procedure to create the object requiring a site (for example, plot, alignment, feature line, or grading object).
  2. When the Create dialog box for the object is displayed, do one of the following:
    • Click the Site list and select the site to which you want to add the object.

      When creating an alignment or feature line, select <None> to assign the alignment or feature line to the top-level Alignments or Feature Lines collection in Prospector.

    • Click the Down arrow next to the Site list and click Pick From Drawing.

      The following prompt is displayed:

      Select object in site:

      Select an object (plot, alignment, feature line, or grading object) contained in the site to which you want to add the new object.

    • Click the Down arrow next to the Site list and click Create New, then use the Site Properties dialog box to define the new site and click OK.
  3. Perform the remaining object creation steps.
