4. Project browser

The Project tab in the left panel shows the model as a tree, in the order the EPA GUI uses, with a count per kind.

Title/Notes (2)
Options (33)
Climatology
  Evaporation (2)
  Temperature
  Adjustments
Hydrology
  Rain Gages (1)
  Subcatchments (8)
  Aquifers
  Snow Packs
  Unit Hydrographs
  LID Controls
Hydraulics
  Nodes: Junctions (12), Outfalls (1), Dividers (0), Storage Units (1)
  Links: Conduits (12), Pumps (0), Orifices (1), Weirs (1), Outlets (0)
Quality
  Pollutants (0)
  Land Uses (0)
Curves (1)
Time Series (3)
Patterns (0)
Controls
Map
  Labels, Backdrop

The counts are rows in the corresponding [SECTION]: Title/Notes counts data lines in [TITLE], Options counts keys in [OPTIONS].

4.1 Using it

• Expand a kind to list its objects by name. Click a name to select it and zoom the map to it. Double-click a map object to show its Properties; double-click a kind that has a dialog (Rain Gages, Curves, Time Series, Patterns, Controls, Pollutants, Land Uses, Options, Title/Notes) to open that dialog on it.
• Search filters the tree to names containing the text; × clears.
• + adds one object of the chosen kind. A node, gage or subcatchment is placed at the model's centre (the origin in an empty model); a link needs two nodes, so + on a link kind switches to that link's map tool and the status bar says click the start node on the map. A curve, time series, pattern, pollutant or land use is added by opening its dialog. The new object gets the defaults in §3.3.
• − deletes the chosen object(s) of that kind, through the same Delete takes more with it check as the map.
• Table opens the kind's attribute table (chapter 6).
• Edit… opens the kind's dialog (chapter 8).

Selection is shared: what is selected in the tree is selected on the map, in the open attribute table and in the Properties sheet.

4.2 Kinds without an editor

Aquifers, Snow Packs, Unit Hydrographs, LID Controls, Adjustments, Temperature, Evaporation and the map Backdrop are listed and counted, and their rows are preserved exactly in the file, but this build has no dialog or sheet for them. [LID_USAGE] and [GROUNDWATER] have typed columns and can be edited in the attribute table; [AQUIFERS], [SNOWPACKS], [HYDROGRAPHS], [LID_CONTROLS], [EVAPORATION], [TEMPERATURE] and [ADJUSTMENTS] do not, and are edited in a text editor. See chapter 17 for the full list of typed sections.
