Tree-View

The tree-view shows all the currently loaded GIS data and reflects the structure of the data within Openwind.

Right-clicking on any layer within the tree-view will bring up the Layer menu. Right-clicking elsewhere in the tree-view will bring up the tree-view menu with the following options:

• New Layer

  • Folder - create a new empty layer as a container for organizing other layers
  • Turbine Layout - create a new Site Layer
  • Gridded Turbine Layout – create a new Gridded Turbine Layer
  • Sensor Grid Layer – create a grid of tiny turbines in order to map wake effects ( Sensor Grid Layer )
  • Collector System Layer – create a new Tree Layer with interpretation Site Cabling
  • Access Roads Layer - create a new Tree Layer with interpretation Access Roads
  • High-Voltage Cable Layer - create a new TreeLayer with interpretation High Voltage Line
  • Environmental Sensors - create a new Environmental Sensor Layer
  • Substations – create a new Substation Layer
  • Grid Connects – create a new Grid Connection Layer
  • Wind Map - create a new Wind Map
  • Points - create a new Point Layer
  • Lines - create a new Line Layer
  • Polygons - create a new Polygon Layer
  • Met Mast – create a new Met Mast Layer

• Open All - expands all nodes in the tree showing all the layers

• Close All - contracts all nodes in the tree so only the workspace node is visible

• Show All - makes all layers visible in the map-view (although some layers may be obscured as a result)

• Hide All - makes all layers invisible in the map-view

The tree-view supports drag-and-drop as well as multi-select (holding down shift or ctrl) if users wish to rearrange the layer hierarchy. If the user selects multiple parent layers and moves them around, then the hierarchy of the children layers of those parent layers will remain the same. If parent and children layers are all selected and moved, then they will all become equal in the hierarchy.
