Editing Object Parameters

You can adjust the general modelling data for all types of object on the Grid Windows or property sheets.

Some types of data, such as tabular data, will only be available on the property sheets. Some other fields, mainly information or additional data fields, are only available on the Grid Windows.

Other Editing Tools

In general, you will change individual parameters for a network object in the normal way, using the grids or property sheets.

InfoWorks ICM does supply some tools to facilitate making the same changes to more than one network object. You can select:

• A block of cells on a Grid Window, and make adjustments to the parameters of the selected cells. See Editing Data in Grid Windows for more information.
• Several network objects and make changes to one or more parameters of the selected objects. The procedure for this is described in Adjusting Parameters for Selected Objects.
• Several nodes or links and adjust their x and ycoordinates. Adjusting links will make changes to any intermediate points on a link containing bends. See Editing Network Object Geometry for more information

There are also many specialist tools described in the rest of this section for making mainly geographical adjustments to specific object types.
