In CivilGEO’s software, users can use the Copy Properties and Paste Properties commands to copy and paste the hydrologic/engineering properties between similar Map View elements, such as subbasins, reaches, storage areas, manholes, pipes, and more.
Follow the steps below to copy and paste properties from one element to another element:
- On the Map View, select the element whose properties are to be copied.
- Right-click the selected element and choose Copy Properties from the displayed context menu.
- Right-click the target element on the Map View where the copied properties will be pasted.
- Select Paste Properties from the displayed context menu.
- The properties will now be pasted to the target element.
Notes:
- You can only copy and paste properties between elements of the same type.
- Geometric properties, such as elevations, area, lengths, etc., along with the computed results, cannot be copied and pasted since they are considered element specific. Only engineering properties, such as curve numbers, percent impervious, routing methods, etc., can be copied.
- The hydrologic results of project elements, such as Junction and Sink, obtained after computing the analysis, cannot be copied and pasted among similar element types.
