Use the vistas displayed in the Panorama window to view and edit objects that are part of the selected pipe network.
Using the Panorama window, you can quickly display all data associated with pipe network parts in one of two vistas. There is a tab for Pipe objects and a tab for Structure objects. You can select an object in the vista and view or edit the pipe network property data.
This window is similar to a spreadsheet. Each row represents a pipe or structure object in a pipe network, and each column represents a property for that object. You can re-size, move, and copy columns. You can also copy all or some of the data from a vista and paste it into a spreadsheet.
