Editing Object Parameters
You can adjust the general modelling data for all types of object on the Grid Windows or property sheets.

Other Editing Tools
In general, you will change individual parameters for a network object in the normal way, using the grids or property sheets.
InfoWorks ICM does supply some tools to facilitate making the same changes to more than one network object. You can:
- Select a block of cells on a Grid Window, and make adjustments to the parameters of the selected cells. See Editing Data in Grid Windows for more information.
- Select several network objects and make changes to one or more parameters of the selected objects. The procedure for this is described in Adjusting Parameters for Selected Objects.
- Select several nodes or links and adjust their x and ycoordinates. Adjusting links will make changes to any intermediate points on a link containing bends. See Editing Network Object Geometry for more information
There are also many specialist tools described in the rest of this section for making mainly geographical adjustments to specific object types.
