Tables

The table is a list of inputted data (for example a list of surcharges, soils, profile interfaces…). The table header contains a list of items (surcharge, name, width, size…) and in the upper left corner control elements to manage the table rows:

	selects all table rows
	cancels selection
	inverts selection

The assumed selection can be also changed by pressing the desired row number. Buttons with numbers are "pressed".

The "Add" button opens the corresponding dialog window for inserting the table data. If the list of data in the table is empty then all input fields in the dialog window are empty. If the table contains some already inputted elements then the input fields are filled with values taken from the current table row (an "arrow" is positioned next to the row number). Elements (rows) are inserted in the table by pressing the "Add" button in the dialog window. New data are placed at the end of the table.

Individual rows are edited with the help of the "Edit" button. Only the row marked with an arrow (see figure) will be edited regardless of other selected rows in the table. Some of the dialog windows allows for editing a group of selected items using the "Edit selected" button. It is therefore possible to modify values in more rows all at once. Always the selected rows are edited.

The "Remove" button deletes all selected ("pressed") rows. More than one row can be removed at the same time. If no item is selected the program deletes the current row (marked with an "arrow").  

It there is among rows selected for deletion a row, which cannot be deleted (e.g. starting point of a structure), the program stops the deletion process!

Table example

Selection state of individual table rows corresponds to visualization state of objects on the desktop. An object on the desktop that corresponds to the current row in the table (an "arrow" is positioned next to the row number) is implicitly displayed extra bold. If the row is selected ("pressed") the corresponding object is displayed in green. Pressing the "Remove" button colors all objects selected for deletion red.

Visualization of selected objects

Marking objects using these colors is implicitly set. This setting, however, can be modified in the "Visualization style Settings" - tab sheet "Global".
