When a Polyline or multiple Polylines are selected, the SELECTION - TOOLS menu will be available. The SELECTION - TOOLS menu contains tools that allow you to edit, change styling, annotate, or perform advanced functions on your selected Polyline(s). The menu dynamically adjusts the tools available depending on your item selection, with additional tools available for selecting more than 1 Polyline.
Individual Polyline selection
Multiple Polyline selection
Styling group
Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | Line | Allows you to change the Polyline(s) color. |
![]() | Thickness | Allows you to change the Polyline(s) thickness. |
Annotate group
Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
- | Name | Polyline(s) Descriptor & Number displayed over the Polyline(s) in the Viewport. |
![]() | Label | Allows you to change the Polyline(s) Label color. |
![]() | Size | Allows you to change the Polyline(s) Label size. |
Edit group
Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | Edit Vertex | Enables you to edit the selected Polyline and its points. Displays the Edit Vertex Mode box where you can select editing options and change the coordinates (X,Y,Z) of the selected Polyline. |
Transform group
Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | To Terrain | Selected Polylines are draped to the underlying Elevation terrain by changing their Z value to the same elevation as the Z level of the terrain at their XY location. |
![]() | Split | Enables Split mode. Polylines can be split into separate Polyline items by left-mouse clicking at your desired split location along a selected Polyline. Result: Polyline |
![]() | To Boundary | Selected polylines are transformed into a Boundary item. Line segments between the gaps of the Polyline(s) are automatically filled in to complete the Boundary, and original Polyline items are removed. Result: Boundary |
![]() | Densify | Selected Polyline(s) become more complex by adding vertices to them that drape the Polyline(s) to the underlying terrain. Densify has 3 methods of adding vertices, Break Points, Regular & Low-pass. Breakpoints adds vertices by elevation change along the Polyline. Regular adds vertices at a specified distance intervals. Low-pass adds vertices at lowest elevations along the Polyline at specified intervals. All vertices created always drape onto the underlying Elevation terrain. |
![]() | Merge Polylines | Merge separates Polyline items into a single Polyline item. The Polylines must have endpoints that overlap on each other in order to merge. (Only available for use when more than 1 line is selected) Result: Polyline |
Create group
Icon | Name | Description |
---|---|---|
![]() | Offset Line | Creates parallel line(s) to the selected Polyline. The delta Z Offset Method is controlled in the dialog box. Left-mouse click in the Viewport determines the offset distance. Result: Polyline(s) |
![]() | Section Lines | Creates a set of polylines along the selected profile(s). Polylines created are spaced perpendicular along the selected profile at designated regular intervals. Result: Polyline(s) |
![]() | Section Profiles | Creates a set of profiles along the selected profile(s). Profiles created are spaced perpendicular along the selected profile at designated regular intervals. Result: Profile(s) |
![]() | To Profile | Converts the selected Polyline(s) into Profile item(s). The selected Polyline(s) is (are) automatically disabled in the project view and Profile item(s) is (are) created in the same layer. Result: Profile(s) |
Extract Points | Creates Point items at every vertex of the selected Polyline(s). Result: Point(s) |
