Modify Tree Cells
Not Spatix
Modify Tree Cells tool lets you check and modify tree cell elements that have been placed with the Create Tree Cells tool. The tool opens a list of selected tree cells. Based on the list, you can display the tree cells, check their attributes and size, and possibly modify the tree species name and the cell's height, width, and trunk width. You can also move the cell completely to another location.
The work can be supported by images. This requires a mission and image list in TerraPhoto. More information can be found in the TerraPhoto User Guide.
For displaying a selected tree, the tool supports automatic display update in three CAD file views, one top view, one section view, and one camera view. Images can be displayed in the camera view.
The list shows a flag for each tree. By default, the flag is set to Check. After you checked a tree, you may change it to Approved.
