Apply GeoPlan properties and themes in InfoAsset Manager

Step-by-step guide

In InfoAsset Manager, use a GeoPlan theme to control how objects are displayed on the GeoPlan. This collection of properties can be saved as the network default, or it can be saved to a database project, where it can be accessed by other users and applied to other networks.

  1. Right-click the GeoPlan and select Properties & Themes.
    In the InfoAsset Manager interface, the context menu for the GeoPlan expanded, with Properties & Themes being selected and called out with a red arrow.

The GeoPlan Properties and Themes dialog opens. On the Layers and Themes tab, the network object display settings can be edited. Object themes can also be set up, edited, and saved.

For this example, start by editing the theme for pipes in the network.

  1. In the Pipe row, Theme column, click Edit.
    In the GeoPlan Properties and Themes dialog, in the Theme column of the Pipe row, Edit being clicked and highlighted in red.

The Layer Theme Editor opens. Start by setting a link direction for pipes.

  1. Under Properties, select Arrows.
  2. In the Ranged Themes table, set the value under Arrows to 1 to set one arrow per pipe link.
    In the Layer Theme Editor, Arrows selected under Properties and highlighted in red, and in the Ranged Themes group, the Arrows set to 1 and highlighted in red.
  3. Click Apply to see the result in the GeoPlan.
    In the GeoPlan, an arrow added to each pipe link, with a red arrow calling out one of the arrows.

Sub themes can also be created to apply specific sets of display options to the object layer.

For this example, create a sub theme that distinguishes pipe width.

  1. In the Sub Theme Manager Pane, on the toolbar, click Add New.
    In the left pane of the Layer Theme Editor, on the toolbar, Add New being selected and called out with a red arrow.
  2. In the Sub Theme Editor Pane, in the Field drop-down, select width (US width).
  3. In the Ranged Themes table, for this example, set the Line Color for the narrowest pipes to yellow.
  4. Set the Line Color for the widest pipes to red.
  5. Click Auto-Theme to automatically grade the intermediate colors.
    In the Layer Theme Editor, with the Field drop-down set to width and colors set for the narrowest and widest pipes, Auto-Theme being clicked and called out with a red arrow.
  6. Click Apply to view the results on the GeoPlan.
    In the Layer Theme Editor, the intermediate colors graded and the Apply button being clicked and highlighted in red. In the GeoPlan, the sub theme applied to the network, with pipes now color-coded according to size.
  7. Click OK.

Back in the Properties & Themes dialog, Pipe row, Theme column, the number next to Edit indicates that there are multiple themes for pipes.

In the GeoPlan Properties and Themes dialog, Pipe row, Theme column, the number 2 in parentheses next to Edit, with the cell highlighted in red.

To save the themes:

  1. Click Save and review the available options.
  • Save to database object saves the current themes and GeoPlan properties as an object in the Explorer window.
  • Save as default for this network makes the current themes and GeoPlan properties the default for the current network.
  1. In this case, select Save to database object.
  2. Click OK.
    On the Layers and Themes tab, the Save button highlighted in red, and in the Save options popup, Save to database object selected, with OK being clicked.
  3. Click OK again to close the GeoPlan Properties and Themes dialog.
