====== Connected objects management ======

**Connected objects** allow you to add graphical elements
to the plans and associate them with phasing activities.

They can represent, for example:

  * traffic lanes
  * temporary paths
  * logistics flows
  * infrastructure elements related to activities

===== Adding a polyline =====

In the **Phasing design** interface:

  - open the **Objects** drop-down menu
  - click the **Add Polyline** button

Then draw the polyline **point by point using the left mouse button**.

Once the last point has been placed, finish the drawing
with a **right-click**.

Among the options available after the right-click,
it is possible to define the **direction of circulation**
by displaying an arrow.

For a two-way route, it is possible to display **two arrows**.

===== Modifying the style of a polyline =====

To improve readability, the style of the polyline
can be modified.

Procedure:

  - hover over the polyline
  - right-click on one of its segments
  - select **Settings**

You can then modify:

  * the **color**
  * the **line appearance**
  * other graphical parameters

===== Renaming a connected object =====

To rename a connected object:

  - open the **Connected objects on selected plan** tab
    in the lower panel of the **Phasing design** window
  - use the **visibility checkboxes** to locate the object on the plan
  - select the corresponding row
  - click **Edit**
