Multi-point geometry

Define multiple unconnected points​

This geometry type defines multiple points that exist separately, without being connected to each other. Use it to describe assets composed of multiple distinct objects, e.g. a pair of traffic lights.

How to draw​

When editing item geometry (or any other geometry field in Alloy), the Geometry Editor appears. The row of draw tools indicates which geometry types are allowed by the item's design (or the source of the field).

The draw tools are dimmed out if the relevant geometry type isn't allowed

Select the Point tool and then select your first desired location on the map. The tool will remain active, enabling you to select it again and add any more points as needed. To reposition the points, drag them to another location, or use the Erase tool to remove them and start again.

Select Done to save your changes.
