GeoPlan Themes
Themes allow you to display a particular parameter graphically on the GeoPlan Window.
GeoPlan themes are accessed by right-clicking on the GeoPlan and selecting Properties & Themes. This displays the GeoPlan Properties dialog, opened on the Layers and Themes page.
You can display themes and contour plots of many different types of data on the GeoPlan Window.
You can set up themes for any node, pipe, survey or zone parameter. Contour plots of mapping data from a ground model can also be displayed.
It is also possible to display SQL expressions by themes.
See the Managing Themes and GeoPlan Properties - Layers and Themes page topics for details on how to create, edit, delete or save themes.
The Thematic Key Window displays details about the current theme and contour settings, as well as other network display settings. This window can be docked at the side of the InfoAsset Manager Main Window, in the same way as the Explorer Window. Therefore it can remain visible at all times while you are working in InfoAsset Manager.
The display of theme keys in the Thematic Key Window is controlled by settings in:
- the GeoPlan Properties - Visual page (where settings can be made for several themes at once) or
- the Sub Theme Editor Pane of the Layer Theme Editor (where settings can be made for the specific theme being displayed).
For more details, see Thematic Key Window.

The settings you have made on the GeoPlan Properties dialog or the Layer Theme Editor (accessible via the Edit button in the Theme column of the Layers and Themes page of the GeoPlan Properties dialog) will become the default settings respectively for the same network or for future GeoPlan Windows.
Both options are available from the GeoPlan Properties dialog- Layers and Themes page.
See the Reverting to GeoPlan Properties and Theme factory settings section of the Managing Themes topic for detailed information.
The settings you have made on the GeoPlan Properties dialog or the Layer Theme Editor (accessible via the Edit button in the Theme column of the Layers and Themes page of the GeoPlan Properties dialog) will become the default settings for future GeoPlan Windows. Use the Save as default theme for all networks button with care.
