26. ADJUSTING IRRIGATION BLOCK ENTITIES
Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2012 1:47 pm
As you may know the irrigation block entities, once placed, are a single item and minor adjustments may seem difficult to make. However, here are some tips to help you make the minor adjustments you require.
Tip #1:-
To adjust the boundary of the irrigation block entities such as Spray Irrigation Block or Tape Irrigation Block use the Move Point tool on the Area lasso.
Step 1. Select the Area lasso around the block.
Step 2. Select Modify|Move Point.
Step 3. Move the selected point of the lasso to the new position.
In this way you can move the boundary, which will lengthen and shorten the laterals, or perhaps remove extraneous “short” laterals.
Notes:
The amount of adjustment than can be achieved in this manner is limited by the number of points in the Area lasso.
The minimum length of a lateral to be drawn is based on the setting in Design|Design Parameters "Min Lateral Length".
Tip #2:-
To move or delete on irrigation block entities hold the Shift key down and then click on the item. This allows a lateral to be deleted or its end moved.
Step 1. Select Delete or Move as required.
Step 2. Hold the Shift key down.
Step 3. Click on the lateral to be deleted or on the lateral junction to move.
