Mā te pūrere tohi e tohu te āhua o te tū wātea mai i roto o GeoMaps (ngā Mapi Aro Whenua) Use the Select tool for spatial query in GeoMaps

The Select tool is the most advanced way of selecting features, including:

• selecting multiple features within a similar geographic area
• drawing an area of interest, then adding a buffer to create a wider area of interest
• selecting features that intersect or contain other features
• selecting features based on other selected features.

There are two main options when using the Select tool:

• Select by feature
• Select by geometry

Select features from one layer, and use their geometry to select features from one or more other layers.

For example, you may want to select all drainage features within a known property or group of properties.

Step 1: Click on the Select tool (spatial query)

Step 2: Click the button next to Select by feature using features from source.

Step 3: Define your selection criteria.

Step 4: Locate the specific source layer features within the map. Do this by either:

• panning and zooming, and then clicking on the feature with the mouse
• using other tools such as the Search/Find tool (e.g. If you are interested in finding all of the park assets within Coyle Park in Pt Chevalier).

After you have successfully selected the source feature, you will notice that it is highlighted in the display and the results are presented in the Results panel.

Step 5: Click Apply.

After clicking the Apply button, you may not notice any difference in the display, especially if the source layer is Property. This is because the default results of only one layer at a time can be presented in the Results panel and in the map display, and by default this includes the Property layer as the one to display.

All of the selected features from the target layers will be available in the Results panel layer list.

This involves creating a sketch using draw tools, and using the coordinates or boundaries of the sketch as the extent which to select features from one or more layers.

Step 1: Click on the Select tool (spatial query)

Step 2: Click the button next to the Select by geometry.

Step 3: Define your selection criteria.

Step 4: Locate the specific area of interest in the map by:

• panning and zooming, and then clicking on the feature with the mouse
• using other tools such as the Search/Find tool (e.g. If you are interested in finding all of the park assets within Coyle Park in Pt Chevalier, search for the park using the Search/Find tool).

Step 5: After you have found the area you are interested in, create a sketch over the area/point/line to define the area.
