I just downloaded the SF sample model and was going through some of the online video tutorials and came to a road block. I can't seem to select a road (or anything else for that matter) to edit it or look at it's profile. Admittedly I also recently had AIW installed so I'm not up to speed with everything yet so.... What's the trick to being able to select and ultimately edit ANYTHING? 🙂
Thanks in advance!

Solved by christian.vanderberg. Go to Solution.
So it appears to have something to do with the fact that it's the downloaded SF sample model and that it's "connected to online model". I created a new model and was able to modify things as I had expected. So the question now is.... is there a way to "break" the link from the sample model but maintain all of the data locally?

Alright... I figured it out. The surface layers were LOCKED. I had to unlock them, then I could modify roads, buildings, etc...

Hi,
i'm not sure why but my Model Explorer is turning on for all layer, i still can not select Roads
The same thing happened to me too... And it is not the first time. The annoying thing is I do not know what I did to cause it. I can not edit anything... not a component road, railway, city furniture, intersection, NOTHING! I can select an entity and see what it is in the properties, but it would not allow me to edit any features.
BUT I think I found a solution by accident... I deleted a vehicle and placed a new one. And all works normal again. I think the act of creating a new feature solved the issue. I hope this can help someone.
the only other reason for you issue I can think of is, that you have switched off the "Edit Mode".
Can you double check it the next time you experience the issue?
Regards,
Karsten.
Hi Karsten
I thought that was the issue too, but my edit mode was switched on.
I went back to a previous which had a similar problem... Edit mode was switched on there too. I could select and edit features such as buildings etc, but the component road I was unable to edit. I created a new intersection on the road and deleted it again... that solved the problem with the model.
