Displaying a long section

Displaying a long section from the GeoPlan window

• On the Tools toolbar, click the (Long section pick) icon then click a link on the GeoPlan.

  The software selects all the nodes and links in either direction from the point where you clicked until a junction is reached.

  You can hold down the Ctrl key and click additional links to add them to the section, or existing links to remove them. The only limitation is that the section must remain continuous and without branches.

Alternatively:

• Open a new long-section window (using the tool or Window | New long section window), then return to the GeoPlan and use the tool to select the links to be viewed.
• Select a run of objects on the GeoPlan, then, in a Long Section window, right-click and choose Create from selection.

Note: The network selection may contain gaps and branches and therefore not contain a valid long section. InfoWorks WS Pro attempts to create a long section and stops when an invalid part of the section is reached. The long section displayed depends on the internal order of the selected objects within the software, and is therefore not predictable.

Displaying a long section from a selection list

1. Click the (New long section) tool to open a new long-section window.

   Alternatively, choose Window | New long section window.

2. From the Model Group window, drag and drop a selection from a Selection List Group onto the long section window. The long section will be displayed in the view, and all network objects in the long section will be highlighted in all the views open on the network.

Displaying multiple simulation results in a long section view

1. Open the results of the base simulation into the main window.

3. Click OK.

4. On the Tools toolbar, click the (Long section pick) icon then click a link on the GeoPlan. The software selects all the nodes and links in either direction from the point where you clicked until a junction is reached.
