Common Functionality

Editor : Element Selection : Selectable Items

Selectable Items

The following table lists element types that can be selected and modified using Editor. Some types of element can be modified if they belong to an administrative element such as a ZONE or FRMW, but they cannot be individually modified if they belong to a Plant Item. For example, A GENSEC element can be selected and moved if it belongs to a FRMW or SBFR element, but not if it belongs to a TMPL element.

Selected elements are highlighted so that they stand out from all the other elements in the graphics display.

A Model Editor Handle appears when a Graphical Selection is present. This can be used to manipulate the position and orientation of the entire Graphical Selection.

Modifiable and non-modifiable elements

Elements that can be moved or rotated by you are highlighted with a green wireframe when you click on them in Editor mode. If you do not have permission to move or rotate an element, it is highlighted in a red wireframe.

It is not always possible to determine whether a move or rotation operation can be carried out when items are selected. It is possible that a move or rotation operation could be rejected if Data Access Control determines that you are not permitted carry out the operation.
