  4. Click the OK button to create the turn table. Click the Cancel button to exit the current dialog box.

After creating the turn table successfully, you create the result turn table dataset in the specified datasource, as shown below:

TurnTableResult

  • Introduction for the turn table dataset

    • SmID and SmUserID are system field and SmID is not allowed to be modified. The SmUserID is editable.
    • NodeID is a node identification field, and it records the ID of each node that satisfies the specified SQL expression(s);
    • FEdgeID and TEdgeID record the start and end IDs of the turn that passes this node.
    • TurnCost records the cost of turning from one arc to another arc. The default value is 0, representing no cost. Users can assign this value according to their needs.
