Defining nodes

Notes:

You can specify that you need not press the Ctrl key when adding network objects (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).
For some network objects there are windows in which the attributes of a network object can be defined and edited. There are lists for this, for all network objects. You can choose whether you want to open a window, a list or neither of the two for the definition of network objects in the Network Editor (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

1. On the network object sidebar, click Nodes.

2. Hold down the Ctrl key and right click on the network editor on the desired corners of the polygons in the area of the node.

Note: Alternatively you can click Add New Node on the shortcut menu in the network editor. A node with four corners is added. The Nodes window opens, if you have selected that you want the program to open the Edit dialog automatically after object creation (Right-click behavior and action after creating an object).

3. Once you have added all of the corners of the polygon, double click.

4. Release the keys.

The node has been added. The window Node opens.

5. Edit the attributes (Attributes of nodes).

6. Confirm with OK.

The attributes are saved in the list Nodes.

Notes:

Do not define overlapping nodes.
A polygon node can be converted into a segment node and vice versa (Converting polygon nodes), (Converting segment nodes). For each conversion the definition of the node is adjusted correspondingly. You can edit the node definition.

Tip: Alternatively, you can import nodes via ANM import (Importing ANM data). Nodes are always imported as segment nodes.
