Change Direction

Feature Description

The Change Direction button provides functionality to reverse the node order of selected lines or regions.

The Change Direction button becomes available only when the current selection contains lines or regions, and the layer containing these objects is editable.

Supported geometry types for node order reversal include: 2D lines, line3D, 2D regions, region3D, and compound objects.

Feature Entry

  • Features Tab -> Feature Editing Group Dropdown -> Change Direction.

Steps

  1. With the layer editable, select one or multiple lines/regions. You can hold down Shift or Ctrl keys to select multiple lines/regions consecutively, or use drag selection to choose multiple geometries.
  2. In the Gallery control of the Feature Editing group under the Features tab, click the Change Direction button to perform the direction change. The selected geometries will then display reversed node sequences.
Notes:
  • When multi-layer editing is enabled, users can simultaneously select multiple lines/regions from different editable layers to modify their directions.
  • If the selection contains mixed geometry types (lines, regions, and others) with both editable and non-editable objects, only editable lines and regions will have their node sequences reversed after executing the operation.
