Editing Features

You can edit feature attributes or position on the terrain.

Editing an Individual Feature in the 3D Window  

To edit a feature:

1.     Select the feature. See “Selecting Features from the 3D Window” in this chapter for information.

2.     In the feature’s property sheet, set its properties (X, Y, and MGRS) and feature attributes.

Note:        Features have field attributes, only if the feature layers are loaded with attribute fields, such as "Country Population". If the layer does not contain attribute fields, or in the loading phase, you did not select any attribute field to load, no field attributes are listed in the property sheet.

3.     Edit the polyline, polygon or point object. See “Editing Objects in the 3D Window” in the “Working with Objects” chapter.

4.     If you want to undo/redo any edit action, on the top of the layer’s property sheet, click Undo  / Redo . Changes can be undone or redone, even after the property sheet is closed, and then reopened.

Editing Multiple Features' Attributes

To edit selected features’ attributes:

1.     Select the required features either by selecting them in the 3D Window or by spatial query. See “Selecting Features from the 3D Window” and “Spatial Queries” in this chapter for information.

2.     On the Feature Layer tab, in the Edit group, click Editing and select Attributes. The Attribute Table for the selected layer opens with the selected features and their attributes displayed in the Search Results section.

Note:        You can also click Attribute Table on the Feature Layer tab.

3.     For each attribute value that you want to modify, double-click and type the required value.
