Edit View/Edit Point Attributes

(This functionality is available with the Computations module and the 3d Visualisation module)

Used to view the attributes of individual points and change the attributes if desired.

The Edit / View/Edit / Points command is selected from the Computations Task or the 3d Visualisation module. The command can also be activated by a double click on the point in the plan view if no other command is active.

View/Edit Point Attributes dialog box

Note that changing any of the attributes in this dialog box will not change the attributes of the selected point until the OK button is selected.

Item	Used to
Code Table	Select the code table that you wish to use. The feature codes of the selected code table become available for selection in the Code field drop list. Change the code table if you wish to change the feature code of the selected point to a feature code that already exists in another code table.
Point ID	Key in the point identifier of the required point, or alternatively use the mouse to select the required point and have its identifier automatically placed in this field.
Code:	Display or edit the feature code of the selected point. To change the feature code, key in the desired code or select a code from the drop list. You may select a different code table in the code table drop list to see that code table's feature codes in the code drop list. Selecting a feature code from the drop list will change the attributes shown in the various fields to accord with the settings in the code table. Note that the symbol dimensions and direction will not be changed. Having feature codes already set up in the code table with the required attributes, and selecting the appropriate feature code in this field, is therefore the fastest and most convenient method of changing point attributes to that desired. Code tables may be set up and edited via the Utilities/Tables/Code Table commands. Altering the attribute settings in this dialog box will not alter the code table settings. Selecting an existing code previously defined in the code table is a quick method of changing the attributes. However, you may key in a code not contained in the code table and/or define the attributes as you wish.
Group	Display or edit the group of the selected point. To change the group, key in the desired group name or select a group name from the drop list. If a new group is entered, that group will be created when the OK button is selected.
Desc	Display or edit the description of the selected point. The description may be up to 26 characters.
East	Display or edit the East Co-ordinate of the selected point. Careful! Changing this value and pressing the OK button will move the point accordingly
North	Display or edit the North Co-ordinate of the selected point. Careful! Changing this value and pressing the OK button will move the point accordingly.
Elevation	Display or edit the Elevation of the selected point. Careful! Changing this value and pressing the OK button will change the elevation of the point. The check box must be checked before an elevation can be keyed in. Careful! Unchecking the check box will remove the elevation value from the field.
Contourable	Display or edit the point contourable attribute. If active, the point will be used in model formation for contouring and volume calculations.
XY Rounding	Display or edit the point's Co-ordinate rounding for XY (East and North) co-ordinates. Three types of XY rounding (1, 2, and 3) are definable using the Utilities/Configure/Co-ordinates command. A setting of zero means that rounding will not be applied.
Z Rounding	Display or edit the point's Co-ordinate rounding for Z (Elevation) co-ordinates. Three types of Z rounding (1, 2, and 3) are definable using the Utilities/Configure/Co-ordinates command. A setting of zero means that rounding will not be applied.
Colour	Display or edit the colour number attribute of the point.
Symbol	Display the View/Edit Symbol dialog box which is used to view or edit the symbol attributes of the point.
Apply	Close the dialog box and change the attributes of the selected point to reflect any changes made in this dialog box or the View/Edit Symbol dialog box.
Close	Close the dialog box without changing the attributes of the selected point.

The attributes of the selected point are not changed until the OK button is selected. If you inadvertently changed an attribute in the dialog box, press the Cancel button to ensure that the point's attributes are left unchanged.
