Explanation |
Select Objects
|
Click or drag to select objects. See Selecting Objects. Double click to edit objects. See the Object Properties dialog box. |
Select Vertices
|
Click or drag to select individual vertices. See Selecting Objects. |
Select With Lasso
|
Drag to select objects. See Selecting Objects. |
Create|Point
|
Create a point object. See Points and theObject Properties dialog box. |
Create|Polyline
|
Create a polyline object. See Polylines and the Object Properties dialog box. |
Create|Polygon
|
Create a polygon object. See Polygons and theObject Properties dialog box. |
Create|Straight Line
|
Create a polyline object whose segments are parallel to the grid. See Straight-Lines and the Object Properties dialog box. |
Create|Rectangle
|
Create a rectangular polygon object. See Rectangles and the Object Properties dialog box. |
Edit|Edit Selected Object(s) Properties |
Edit the properties of the selected objects. See the Object Properties dialog box. |
Edit|Select Objects for Editing or Deletion... |
Select objects for editing or deletion. See the Select Objects for Editing or Deletion dialog box |
Edit|Add Point Sections
|
Add new point sections to an existing object. See Editing Objects. |
Edit|Add Polyline Sections
|
Add new polyline sections to an existing object. See Editing Objects. |
Edit|Add Polygon Sections
|
Add new polygon sections to an existing object. See Editing Objects. |
Edit|Insert Vertex
|
Insert a new vertex into the selected object by clicking the location on the object where a new vertex is desired. See Editing Objects. |
Edit|Delete Segment
|
Delete a segment from an object by clicking on it. See Editing Objects. |
Edit|Rearrange Objects... |
Change the order of the objects. See the Rearrange Objects dialog box. |
Edit|Scale, Rotate, or Move Objects... |
Change the size of, rotate, or move the selected objects. See Scale, Rotate, and Move Objects dialog box. |
Edit|Merge Objects |
When two or more objects are selected and some of the selected objects have end points at the same location, the objects are merged into a single object by adding the vertices of one object to the other. The objects to be merged may have no more than a single section each. The merged object will have all the properties of only one of the objects. The properties of the other object are ignored. |
Edit|Reverse Selected Objects |
Reverse the order of the vertices in the selected objects. An example of where this would be useful is if an object used to define a stream in the MODFLOW SFR package was drawn in the wrong direction. |
Edit|Vertex Values
|
Associated numerical values with individual vertices. See Vertex Values dialog box. |
Edit|Invert Selected Vertices |
In the selected objects, make the selected vertices unselected and vice versa. |
Edit|Split Selected Objects |
If the selected objects have multiple part, each part is converted to a separate object. |
Edit|Make Selected Vertices a Separate Object |
If some of the vertices of an object are selected, Object|Edit|Make Selected Vertices a Separate Object will remove those vertices from the selected object and make them a new object. |
Edit|Split Object at Selected Vertices |
If some of the vertices of an object are selected, Object|Edit|Split Object at Selected Vertices will break the object into two separate objects. The break will occur at the selected vertices and each object will share the selected vertices. |
Edit|Lock Selected Objects |
Lock the positions of the selected objects so they can not be moved accidentally. |
Edit|Unock Selected Objects |
Unlock the positions of the selected objects so they can be moved. |
Edit|Simplify Selected Objects |
Remove some of the vertices from an object while modifying its overall shape only slightly. See the Criteria for Simplifying Objects dialog box. |
Edit|Anonymize Selected Point Objects |
Move the vericies of point or multipoint objects to cell centers or nodes. See Anonymize Selected Point Objects. |
Search For Object... |
Search for objects based on the data sets or boundary conditions they affect. See the Search for Objects dialog box. |
Show or Hide Objects...
|
Show or hide objects based on the data sets or boundary conditions they affect or individually. See Show or Hide Objects dialog box. |
Show All Objects |
Make all the objects in the model visible. |
Hide All Objects |
Make all the objects in the model invisible. |
Select Objects by Name... |
Select objects based on their names. See Select Objects by Name dialog box. |
