Select a polygon node:
► Add polygon point: On the polygon-defining line, place the pointer
exactly where you want to add another polygon point. As soon as the
pointer is no longer shown as a hand, but as a reticle, you may define
the new point by right-click.
► Shift polygon point: Place the pointer on the point you want to shift to
another position. As soon as the pointer is no longer shown as a hand,
but as a reticle with arrowheads, you may drag the point to the desired
position while holding the left mouse-key down. The course of the
polygon is aligned accordingly.
► Remove polygon point: Place the pointer on the point you want to
delete from the polygon. As soon as the pointer is no longer shown as a
hand, but as a reticle with arrowheads, you may drag the point to a
neighbouring polygon point while holding the left mouse-key down. A
new line is formed from the former neighbouring polygon lines. The
course of the polygon is aligned accordingly.
Select a segment node:
► Select link: CTRL - Left-click selects the link, where
- you want to add a segment or
- the segment you want to edit is located.
The start cross section is marked dark red and the end crosssection
is marked dark green in with-flow direction of the link.
Connectors appear more narrow compared to links.
► Add segment: Right-click in the selected link to create another node
segment by adding the selected link completely to the segment node. If
the link already contains a segment of the node, the length of the
segment will be set to link length.
In both cases, the segment length can be edited subsequently.
► Select segment: Left-click on a cross-section of the segment. The start
cross section will be highlighted light red (end cross-section: light
green).
► Remove segment: Drag the selected cross-section away from the link
while holding left mouse-key down. As soon as the mouse-key is
released while the pointer is placed anywhere in the network display
(but not on the link) the segment is removed from the segment node
definition.
To delete a segment with segment length = link length, right-click in the
selected link.
► Edit segment length: Drag the selected cross-section to the desired
position on the link while holding left mouse-key down.
► Stretch segment to start/end of link: Right-clicking the selected
cross-section automatically places the selected cross-section on the
link´s start or end.
► Set segment length = link length: After right-clicking the selected link
the length of the link segment will automatically cover the link length
completely.
