GMS:Feature Object Commands

The Feature Objects menu becomes available when the Conceptual model, or Map model, is active. The menu has the following commands:

• Build Polygons

  Creates polygons out of closed arcs.

• Vertices↔Nodes

  Switches selected vertices to nodes and vise verse.

• Vertices → Nodes

  Switches selected vertices to nodes.

• Nodes → Vertices

  Switches selected nodes to vertices.

• Redistribute Vertices...

  Redistributes the amount of vertices on a selected arc using a user input value for spacing.

• Create Arc Group

  Creates the select multiple arcs as one. All arcs are still separate arcs, but one group.

• Reverse Arc Direction

  Arcs have a direction that follows the path that they were made. Direction is important with some parameters and need to be consistent throughout the model.

• Clean...

  Selecting the Clean command brings up the Clean dialog. See Clean Command for more information.

• Find Feature Object... ||
• New Grid Frame

  Creates a new grid frame object in the project explorer.

• Activate Cells in Coverage(s)

  After creating a coverage that defines the model boundary and creating a grid, just the cells that are in the active coverage with remain active.

• Arc(s) → Cross Section ||

• Map → ADH ||
• Copy to Coverage...

  Opens a dialog allowing for selection of one or more coverages which selected feature objects will be copied to. This may result in overlapping and/or intersecting objects.
