Create New Object Dialog
When digitising a new network object on the GeoPlan window, a 'Create New Object' dialog is displayed to let you specify information about the object.
New Node Dialog
Displayed when digitising a new node on the GeoPlan or Long Section Window to create a new node.
Enter a unique identifier for the node. The node ID will be automatically populated if Automatic Node Name Generation is switched on.
Choose the type of node from the Type dropdown list. For InfoWorks networks choose System Type from the dropdown list. See System Type for more information.
If inserting a node into an existing link, make sure the Split box is checked, the link to be split is selected from the dropdown list and a flag is set if required.
For InfoWorks networks, the selected flag will be applied to the new link lengths and invert levels, however, it will not be applied to the new link lengths if the existing link length flag is set to #D.
For SWMM networks, the selected flag will be applied to the node name and upstream and downstream elevations for the new links. The flag setting also determines how the elevations are calculated in SWMM networks. See Digitising Network Objects for further information.

The US Node ID and Downstream Node ID are automatically filled in from the nodes that you clicked on.
The link ID is automatically populated using the selected naming method if Automatic Link Name Generation is switched on. If Automatic Link Name Generation is switched off, and you are adding a link to a node, the name of the upstream node ID will be used as the ID.
The ID can be changed if required.
Select the link type from the Type dropdown list.

New Subcatchment/Storage Area Dialog
Displayed when digitising a new subcatchment or storage area for InfoWorks network on the GeoPlan Window.
Either enter a unique identifier for the area or subcatchment object in the Name field, or if you want the object to have the same name as the node to which it drains, simply click on the Name same as Node box.
Specify if the object is a subcatchment or a storage area by selecting the appropriate option from the Type dropdown list.
Select the node to which the object drains from the Node dropdown list.
