Chapter 11. Editing
As JetStream is a design review tool, editing is restricted to simple temporary "overrides" of items'
properties, so that they can always be reset to the state they were in when imported from the CAD file.
You can override an item's position by holding onto the item while navigating and then dropping it in a
new position, or move it by overriding it's transform. Also you can edit an items color, transparency, and
hyperlinks. In addition, you can hide and reveal items and make them required and unrequired to control
their drop out during navigation. Finally, you can also edit a file's transform, or in other words, its origin
location, scale, rotation and so on, so that it fits within the scene when appending multiple models from
potentially different sources and CAD applications.
Most editing is done from the Edit menu, which includes the following items:
• Undo
• Redo
• Select
• Quick Find
• Quick Find Next
• Find Items
• Find Comments
• Hide Item
• Item Required
• Hide Unselected Items
• Override Item
• Reset Item
• Reset All
• File Units and Transform
The two main editing functionalities not available from the Edit menu are hyperlinks and holding items.
11.1. Holding and releasing objects
When navigating around a model in JetStream it is possible to "pick up" or hold selected items and move
around with them in the model. For example you may be viewing a plan for a factory and would like to see
different configurations of machine layouts.
