Clicking the text allows you edit the name of the transaction step with any description that helps to identify the specific step when revisiting the file. This allows you to structure and name the sequences of steps used to create a particular model.

Play transaction / Unplay Transaction

Note that irrespective of the current position of the cursor in transaction steps list, the Unplay the previous transaction control unplay the last green icon step in the list. Unplaying a transaction step having one or more transaction steps below it in play state, will unplay them all

Transactions with Include File clause will have additional controls appear, when played.

They are:

• — steps into nested transaction file, by opening the included file in the transaction player and allows you to edit the transaction steps of the external file.
• — unplays all the transactions followed by returning to the outer-level host transaction.
• — plays all transactions in the included file and then returns to the outer-level host transaction.

• Edit Transaction(s) — Opens a Script Editor window that allows you to edit a transaction.
• Consolidate Transactions — Combines continuous transactions.
  

  Consolidate multiple (consecutive) transactions

• Rebuild Transaction(s) - Replaces the selected transaction(s) with an alternative transaction(s) that achieve the same result.
  Note: The new transaction(s) may add or change multiple nodes if those nodes are of the same type. This operation cannot be undone.
• Split Transaction(s) - Replaces the selected transaction(s) with an alternative transaction(s) that achieve the same result.
  Note: The new transaction(s) add or change only one node unless there is a recursive relationship. This operation cannot be undone.
• Suppress Transaction(s) — Suppresses one or more transactions without deleting the transaction step. The transaction icon turns grey and corresponding nodes disappear from view if were in play state.
• Unsuppress Transaction(s) — Unsuppresses previously suppressed transactions. The unsuppressed transactions reappear in unplay state.
• Insert Include–File Transaction — Opens a Script Editor window that allows you to edit the transaction with the title "New Include-File Transaction" being inserted before the current transaction.
• Insert Model-Change Transaction — A transaction with the title "New Model-Change Transaction" is inserted before the selected transaction in the list. The existing transactions state change to unplayed.

• Paste Transaction(s) — Pastes the transaction from the clipboard that was recently copied or cut.
  • Insert – pastes it before the transaction currently highlighted.
  • Replace – replaces the currently highlighted transaction.

Expanding a step lists the statements. Right-clicking a node statement opens the following choices:

• Edit Statement — Opens a Script Editor window with selected node's statement code to edit.

  For example,

  node nodeName Bentley.GC.NodeTypes.Point 

  {

  }

  for a new node having default name nodeName and type Point. The statements defined in the script with in the curly brackets would form the Property and Expression in the statement.
• New Node Definition/Update Statement — Adds new node definition with default name nodeName and type that the host node.
• New Node Deletion Statement — Adds a delete statement <--DELETE in the Node Type field of the selected node definition.
• Delete Statement — Removes the selected node statement from the node definition list.
• Cut / Copy Statement — Copies the statement in clipboard / removes the selected statement; later can be used to paste.
• Paste Statement — Paste the copied statement in the statement list.
