Map Window Tools
Map window tools allow you to access and configure elements within your watershed. The following are descriptions of tools in the Setup module . A description of the tools common to all modules is included in HEC-RTS Main Window.
Select Tool – Use this tool to edit, rename, and delete elements. To access commands, select the Select Tool and right-click on an element. Commands are available from a shortcut menu.
Zoom Tool – Use this tool to enlarge specific locations in the map window. To enlarge a certain extent, left-click and drag tool over area; to zoom out, right-click.
Time Series Icon Tool – Use this tool to create, delete, and edit Time Series Icons. See Time Series Icons for more detail on creating, deleting, renaming, and editing Time Series Icons.
Stream Alignment Tools
These tools are available when a stream alignment is displayed in the Map Window of the Setup module . See Stream Alignment for more information regarding the stream alignment.
Stream Alignment Tool – Use this tool to create, delete, and edit stream elements that make up the Stream Alignment. A stream alignment is a representation of the stream network in the watershed.
Stream Node Tool – Use this tool to create and edit stream nodes and junctions that make up a Stream Alignment. Stream nodes are the beginning and ending points for each stream element. Stream nodes are also points where stream elements meet (stream junctions).
