The Adjust Point IDs feature in the Tool Set helps reorder and adjust the Point IDs (vertex indices) of features in a selected vector layer. This feature ensures logical and sequential order in Point IDs based on user-defined criteria.

How To: Adjust Point IDs​

  1. Open the Tool Set
    Launch the Tool Set panel by clicking the icon or pressing the shortcut ALT + SHIFT + T.

  2. Select the Active Layer

    • In the Layer Selection section, choose the desired layer from the dropdown.
    • The active layer is automatically populated if one is selected in the map.

  3. Choose the Adjustment Field

    • Use the Dropdown to select the field containing the Point IDs (e.g., Point_ID).

  4. Set Adjustment Criteria

    • Enter the threshold value in the Number SpinBox (minimum: 1, maximum: 10,000).
    • Features with Point IDs greater than or equal to this value will have their indices adjusted.

  5. Apply Adjustments

    • Click Adjust Point Order to initiate the adjustment process. The following actions will occur:
      • Features are grouped based on whether their current Point IDs are greater than or less than the specified threshold.
      • Point IDs are updated sequentially for each group.

  6. Monitor Progress

    • The Progress Bar shows real-time updates as the adjustment progresses.

  7. View Results

    • Once complete, the map refreshes to display the adjusted Point IDs.

Use Case Example​

  • Scenario: A layer contains survey points with disordered Point IDs.
  • Objective: Reorder the Point IDs such that all IDs are sequential and logical for analysis.
  • Solution: Use the Adjust Point IDs tool with the desired threshold to quickly reassign Point IDs.

Notes and Tips​

  • Ensure the layer is editable before making changes.
  • The adjustment applies only to the selected field in the active layer.
  • Verify the field type supports numerical values for proper adjustments
