View Level Data Associated with a Point in Project Explorer

The way imported and keyed-in level data is displayed beneath points in the Points node depends on whether the Allow Network Adjustment or Prevent Further Adjustment option was selected in the Level Editor dialog.

Example 1: Allow Network Adjustment option selected in Level Editor dialog

This option should have been selected if you want all elevations of interest to be left as delta elevation observations and, therefore, adjusted as part of a network adjustment. The data would display in Project Explorer as follows:

Node type example	Description
Points	This is the Points node. All point nodes are located beneath it.
1	This is an individual point node. The icon is followed by the point ID. Observation nodes associated with the point are nested beneath it. If a point ID is displayed in red, there is a computational error associated with the point. For instructions on viewing computational error messages, see Select from the Flags Pane. For a description of level errors that can cause a red point ID, see Level Data Errors.
BM1-1 (E1)	This is a delta elevation observation node, which represents the change of elevation between two control points associated with point 1. The icon is followed by the backsight point ID, a dash, and the foresight or side shot point ID. This is followed by an "E" number in parenthesis that identifies the observation.
1-100 (E2)	This is a delta elevation observation node.
1-2 (E3)	This is a delta elevation observation node.

Example 2: Prevent Further Adjustment option selected in Level Editor dialog

This option should have been selected if you want all elevations of interest to be converted from delta elevation observations into coordinates and, therefore, not adjusted as part of a network adjustment. The data would display in Project Explorer as follows:

Node type example	Description
Points	This is the Points node. All point nodes are nested beneath it.
1	This is an individual point node. The icon is followed by the point ID. Observation nodes associated with the point are nested beneath it. If a point ID is displayed in red, there is a computational error associated with the point. For instructions on viewing computational error messages, see Select from the Flags Pane.

1	This is a coordinate node from an adjustment. The icon is followed by the point ID.
