Add new object

To start creating a new object, click on the New Object tool.

In the New Object dialog, select the layer in which the new object will be created.

The creation of a new object is usually done in two steps:

  1. Create a geometry

  2. Enter attribute values

Create a geometry

A new geometry can be created using existing geometries. Select the Add geometry tool and click on objects in the map to use their geometry. The shaded area represents the new object to be created.

Additionally you can expand the Draw temporary helper geometries area (if this is enabled in the app). Here you have the option to draw or construct new geometries, and in turn add or subtract them to your target geometry using the tools in the top bar.

When the new geometry is finished, click Go to attributes to enter attributes.

Enter attribute values

Enter the appropriate attribute values in the form. Some fields may already be automatically filled with default values.

To complete the creation of the new object, click Save.

Edit or delete existing object

Editing of an existing object can be started by different ways. Which of the ways described below are available depends on the respective app configuration.

  • Start via edit tool
