GeoPlan Properties and Themes - Layers and Themes page

Use these arrows to browse the Object Layer grid up and down, one row at a time.

Click to copy sub themes between different object layers.

Note: The fields must match up between the object layers for the copying of themes to be successful.

Object Layer

Defines the network object type or the ground model.

Display

Turns display of network object layer (including labels) on and off.

Tip: You can hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a check box to turn network object layer display on/off for all currently selected rows.

Selectable

If unchecked, makes the objects in the layer unselectable.

This option can be useful to limit the number of network objects returned when selecting objects.

Note: This functionality applies only to tools involving clicking the object. Objects in unselectable layers will still be selectable using indirect methods such as the Polygon Select tool, SQL queries and selecting in grids for example.

Auto Label

Turns on display of auto labels.

Tip: You can hold down the Ctrl key while clicking a check box to turn display of auto labels on/off for all currently selected rows.

Default Colour

Select the colour in which the object type is to be displayed on the GeoPlan window.

For setting up custom labels for the corresponding network object type.

Clicking Edit displays the Custom Label Settings dialog, where the custom label display options can be edited.

Theme

For creating or amending the GeoPlan theme for the corresponding network object type.

Clicking Edit displays the Layer Theme Editor, where themes are managed.

The number of current themes, including the base theme, is displayed in square brackets.

Note: The total number of themes is displayed only for object layers that have sub themes.

Only show displayed layers

Check this option to hide from the Object Layer grid the layers that are not currently selected for display in the GeoPlan (that is, layers for which the Display option is unchecked).

This option affects layer display only in the grid (not in the GeoPlan) and order layer remains the same when this option is enabled.

Use this option to make the Object Layer grid dialog less cluttered by hiding in the grid the layers that are not set to be displayed in the GeoPlan.

Tip: A thicker horizontal black line between rows in the left hand column indicates the presence of one or more hidden layers.

See GeoPlan Properties And Themes dialog.

Tip: You can use the Load button at the bottom of the dialog and select the Factory default option of the Load Network Editor Properties dialog to overwrite the current settings with the default system settings. See GeoPlan Properties and Themes dialog for more information on the buttons at the bottom of every page of this dialog.
