- Click on a node to select it. A green circle handle will appear, you can drag the handle to rotate the node (Figure 8, left node).
- Right click a node or a selection of nodes and choose Rotate from the contextual menu (Figure 1). Then choose either the default direction or one of the four compass directions from the sub-menu (Figure 8, right nodes). You can set the default rotation in Edit » Scenario Options, then select Default Node Rotation from the side tree. Nodes added from the node palette will have the default rotation.

Deactivated components allow water to pass through that component as if it was not there. That is, deactivated links behave as if they are straight through routing links. Deactivated nodes behave as if they are a gauge. This allows you to test the effect of component(s) on the simulation. For example, the effectiveness of a proposed storage can be modelled by running the scenario twice; once with the storage node activated and once with it deactivated.
Nodes and links can be deactivated through the by either:
- select the component(s), right-click to open the contextual menu, select Deactivate; or
- Right-click on a single component, choose Multi-deactivate to deactivate the selected component and either all upstream or all downstream components, based on your choice from the sub-menu.
Deactivated nodes are indicated by a grey circle backlash symbol on top of the node icon. Deactivated links become a solid grey line. Figure 9 shows what happens when Middle Gauge alone was deactivated using Deactivate (left pane), or Middle Gauge and all upstream components were deactivated using Multi-deactivate » This and all upstream, or Middle Gauge and all downstream components were deactivated using Multi-deactivate » This and all downstream (right pane).
