Description

Auto link orientation

If the option has been selected, the link orientations are set automatically with default values, depending on the setting under Network > Network settings > Network objects > Link orientations (Specifying the number of link orientations).

If the option has not been selected, you can edit the orientation of each link of the selected node. Next to each link, a drop-down list will then be displayed, in which you can select the desired orientation. The selection depends on the setting under Network > Network settings > Network objects > Link orientations (Specifying the number of link orientations).

Tip

Adjacent one-way streets which point in opposite directions can be given the same orientation and thus be combined in one leg.

4.  In the schematic view, click the Apply link orientations button.

The changed link orientations are applied.

Notes: The node attribute Use automatic link orientation indicates whether link orientations were calculated automatically.

The link attributes From node orientation, From main node orientation, To node orientation and To main node orientation indicate the location in the network, for example W, E, or NW. You can edit these attributes.

Based on the link orientations, the calculated direction is displayed in list type Turns and Main turns via the Orientation attribute, for example WW (=from the West to the West).
