It allows users to review, correct, and modify point attributes such as coordinates, elevations, and descriptions. This section is ideal for both quality checks and quick updates to point data. Users can perform bulk editing, targeted corrections, and filtering\u2014all through a user-friendly interface within SPCAD.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"342\" height=\"120\" src=\"https:\/\/help.cadomation.com\/spcad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-27.png\" alt=\"SPCAD Point Editor interface showing editable point attributes\" class=\"wp-image-4051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/help.cadomation.com\/spcad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-27.png 342w, https:\/\/help.cadomation.com\/spcad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image-27-300x105.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 342px) 100vw, 342px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Point Editor<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The <strong>Point Editor<\/strong> in SPCAD offers a spreadsheet-style interface for editing point attributes, including <strong>Point Number, Easting, Northing, Elevation, and Description<\/strong>. Each attribute can be modified directly by clicking on the corresponding cell. Multiple points can be selected simultaneously, and pagination tools make large datasets easy to manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">Toolbar Options Include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Select\/Deselect Points<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Zoom to Selected Points<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Delete Selected Points<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Apply Filter<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a new point group from Selected Points<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The Point Editor also connects seamlessly with the <strong>Query Builder \/ Filter Dialog<\/strong>, which enables advanced filtering. Users can define SQL-like conditions using fields such as Elevation or Description, apply logical operators, and filter based on unique values. This helps create precise selections for batch editing or creating refined point groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change Elevation<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">The <strong>Change Elevation<\/strong> function enables users to adjust point elevations across a group quickly and consistently. There are two adjustment modes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Absolute Value:<\/strong> Assign a fixed elevation to all selected points.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Relative Adjustment:<\/strong> Apply a vertical offset\u2014positive or negative\u2014to the existing elevations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:18px\">This flexibility is particularly useful for <strong>survey corrections, design revisions, or project datum shifts<\/strong> where an entire dataset needs to be raised or lowered efficiently.es.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":3708,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"doc_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3711","docs","type-docs","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Edit Points in Point Group Manager | SPCAD Point Editing Tools<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Edit points efficiently in SPCAD Point Group Manager.
