Edit Active Topology Mode Dialog

Navigation: Click the Active Topology Ribbon Button on the ribbon Home tab.

Active Topology Mode

There are two Active Topology Modes: Selection Based or Query Based. Use the radio buttons to choose the mode you would like to use.

Selection Based mode allows you to control the active/inactive status of individual elements.
Query Based mode allows you to use queries to control the active/inactive status of elements.

Buttons

Select from Drawing button (only enabled when using Selection Based mode): This button opens the Active Topology Selection Tool.
Edit Queries button (only enabled when using Query Based mode): This button opens the Edit Queries Dialog where you can define your queries.
Apply Queries button (only enabled when using Query Based mode): This button executes the active topology queries and updates the active/inactive status of elements in the system. Refer to Applying Active Topology Queries for more information.

Notes:

When applying queries, elements that match the query will be activated (the rest will be deactivated).
If you do not define a query for a particular element type, those elements will be activated when queries are applied.
For extremely large models, the execution of queries may take some time, especially if the Automatically include connected elements option is enabled in the Edit Queries Dialog.
