Project Settings
You can also use the Tools tab to open the Project Settings window. This window consists of two panes allowing you to set various project settings and add new custom properties for segments, this provides users with another way to tag roads.
General pane
The top part of the General pane contains the Viewport area where you can change the display options for the items in the viewport.
Selection Color | If necessary, change the colors of the selection and active selection to suit your preference. |
---|---|
Curved Roads | Road segments will be changed from straight segments to continuous curves along the entire road network. This provides a better visual representation of haul routes, which can be useful for presentations, but can impact performance as it changes how distances are calculated around a curve, rather than straight line. By default, this feature is unchecked. |
Under the Viewport area of the General tab is the Issue Resolution fields, where you can flag checkboxes for the types of errors and set their thresholds, that you wish to see in the Error List panel.
New users are advised to leave all the checkboxes flagged and threshold values by default to show the maximum number of error messages.
In the bottom part of the General panel the default values for rolling resistance, maximum and final speeds are listed.
Default speeds (maximum and final) are explained in HI. Trucks Speeds section.
More information on these project settings see in the HI. Model Calibration FAQ section.
Custom Properties pane
Open the Custom Properties pane to create a new property and give it a default value. Custom properties can be applied to Node and Segments.
New property created in the Custom Properties tab will be displayed in the Available Fields list of the Nodes tab and can be added to the nodes attributes via Grouped Fields list.
You will also see the new property added in the Properties panel.
Through Tools > Project Settings > Custom Properties you can add any number of new custom properties, change their order, and remove unnecessary ones at any time. Any changes will automatically be added to the appropriate Network tab panels.
