Basics of the editing tools

As a user, you can update or modify the SiteRecon output by leveraging our editing tools.

The editing tools let you draw, modify, cut, and delete the individual elements inside the feature. Let's learn more about these tools for different geometry type [Area, Line, Point] features.

Once an order has been approved, the editing tools are accessible. This process ensures that the data you edit is accurate and up-to-date, providing a reliable editing experience.

You can make changes to the layers by creating a new draft view.

Adding a "New Draft View."

⁠

SELECT TOOL

The select tool in the tool’s panel enables you to select layers while editing any outputs on the map.

Single Select- You can select a layer by choosing the select tool and clicking on the layer on the map.

Single Select

⁠

Multi Select- You multi-select layers by selecting a layer and then holding the “ctrl” or “⌘” to select the second layer.

Multi-Select

⁠

Also, You can multi-select by holding Ctrl and drawing a virtual rectangle across the map to select multiple polygons for the active layer.

⁠

DRAW TOOL

Drawing tools enable you to draw feature layers manually on the map. You can add new feature layers by following the steps mentioned below:

Select the feature under which you wish to add the layer. Then, select the drawing tool as per the feature measurement unit. (For eg.- For Turf > Polygon; Hard edge > Line; Tree > Point)

Draw the layer in the desired area.

Once the layer is drawn, you can see the feature layer ID created in the measurement panel.

EDIT TOOL

Edit tools enable you to make changes to make modifications to existing layers.

Select the Edit from the tools panel.

After selecting the modify tools, make changes to existing layers by dragging the layers through the vertex. You can also create a vertex by clicking the polygon's line and changing it.

CUT TOOL

Cutting tools enable you to cut sections of existing polygons as required. We have three cutting tool versions that help you get the desired output.

Cut

1. Select the cut tool from the tools panel.

2. Draw a polygon around the part of the layer that you want to cut.

3. Once you complete the polygon, the extra part of the layer will be removed.

⁠

Cut Tool

Line- split

Line Split can break polygons into multiple items/ polygons using a line.

Draw a line dividing the polygon into two parts, as shown below.

Once done, the polygon will be divided into two separate feature IDs.

Note- The line has to cross over the polygon to split it.

Lasso Split

You can choose the Lasso split to cut out a polygon inside a polygon. This feature is beneficial for you to cut different layers within a vast polygon.

1. Choose the Lasso split tool from the cutting tool section.

2. Draw the polygon per selected area you wish to cut within the existing polygon.

3. Once you draw the polygon on the selected area, two feature IDs will be created. You can also choose to change the feature- e.g., you can change it from turf to mulch beds.

4. You can also use it with the “Move to” feature to transfer the newly cut-out area into a separate layer.

MOVE TO

Move to features helps you transfer layers from one feature to another feature. To do that:

1. Select the layer that you wish to move.

2. In the layer box, click on the drop-down next to move to and select the feature to move the layer.
