Description |
Convert main nodes into |
List box of polygonal objects into which you can convert the main nodes. |
Target objects number from attribute |
Click this button to select a main node attribute that is used to number the target object. |
If a target object with the intended number already exists |
Create target object using the next available number If this option is selected, the target object is assigned the next available number. Do not create target object If this option is selected, the target object is not created if the same number already exists. Note This option is not available if you have marked multiple main nodes or set them active. |
Links/Zones in the polygon of the restricted traffic area/main zone |
Assign all links/zones All links/zones that lie within the area of the new network object are automatically assigned to it. Only assign active links/zones Only active links/zones that lie within the area of the new network object are automatically assigned to it. Do not assign links/zones None of the links/zones that lie within the area of the new network object are assigned to it. Note This option is only available if the target object is Restricted traffic areas or Main zones. |
Delete main nodes after completing the action |
If the option is selected, the main nodes are deleted after conversion. If this option is not selected, the main nodes are not deleted after conversion and share the polygonal object with the target object. Editing the polygon directly then has an impact on both objects. |
