In-Depth Information
In addition to tools that create new features, there are other tools that assist you
while you're in the process of creating new features in the model. Some of these
are duplicates from other toolbars in the user interface.
style Palette The appearance of objects in InfraWorks is con-
trolled by styles. Every InfraWorks model has a library of styles
that you can apply to objects to quickly change their appearance.
The Style Palette presents that library to you in an organized
fashion.
surface opacity This is a handy toggle that switches your ter-
rain surface from being see-thorough to being opaque. It is great
for working on underground features like pipes or foundations.
wireframe This toggles between seeing your model features in
'normal' view versus wireframe view.
style rules Style rules are a way of applying multiple styles to
a group of objects at once and letting InfraWorks sort them out
based on the properties of the objects. This icon opens the Style
Rules panel where you can set up and manage style rules.
edit This tool puts InfraWorks into Edit Mode (discussed
earlier).
Analyze Often you will need to answer questions about your model. The tools
found in the Analyze toolbar are intended for that purpose. These tools are:
terrain themes Open the Terrain Themes panel where you can
configure a theme to color-code a terrain based on elevation, slope,
or aspect (direction in which hillsides face).
feature themes Opens the Feature Themes panel where you
can configure a theme to color-code virtually any group of objects
in your model based on any property that they possess.
Point Cloud themes Open the Point Cloud Themes panel
where you can configure a theme to color-code a point cloud based
on elevation, classification, and other configurations.
sun & sky This opens the Sun & Sky asset card where you can
adjust the appearance of light, shadow, and sky animation.
