21. FILE NAMING CONVENTION User-specified file naming conventions considered the following: Compatibility across platforms (Windows 7/10) Simplicity, clarity, and continuity Scripts and intermediate print files are named automatically by Cube FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 21

22. FILE NAMING CONVENTION (CONTD) File Name Format: FFFFFFFF_SSS.EXT Where: FFFFFFFF is a data description consisting of up to eight (8) characters SSS is an alternative description consisting of three (3) characters, one (1) character representing the alternative, two (2) representing the year: For User-Supplied (Input) files: YYA For Computer-Generated (Output) files: AYY EXTis file type s default extension FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 22

27. Descriptive Text File Description FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 27

28. CATALOG FILE Four sub-windows used to create and manage scenarios: Scenarios (shows base scenario and all siblings) Data (shows input and output files) Applications (shows applications and displays flow charts) Keys (shows parameter keys set up by the developer) Note: Some keys show up only in developer mode Part 4 FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 28

29. CATALOG FILE (CONTD) Part 1 - In the Scenarios window we can view existing scenarios or set up new scenarios. Right-clicking on the Base provides the following enabled options: Add Child Edit/Run Scenario Rename Properties Right-clicking on a Child under the Base allows the user to: Add or Delete child/sibling FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 29

30. CATALOG FILE (CONTD) Part 2 - Data allows the user to: Add Sub Folder Delete a Sub Folder Rename Select Scenarios Add Data Open/View Files Part 3 - Applications allows the user to: Edit, Rename, or Run Application Add Catalog Key View Key for Selected Application only Display Properties FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 30

31. CATALOG FILE (CONTD) Part 4 - Keys are environment variables used by the developer or the applier to set specific model run parameters The Keys window allows the user to: Add Catalog Keys Edit the Values Delete, Rename, or Move Keys Display Key Properties View Key for Selected Applications only FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 31

32. CUBE GRAPHICS The Cube Graphics sub-window is invoked when opening a highway network, shape file, transit network, or intersection data Cube Graphics provides comprehensive features for network and data creating and editing as well as GIS functionality Cube Graphics provides the capability to create a wide variety of graphic commands such as color sets to display volume/capacity ratio, etc. FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 32

33. CUBE GEODATABASE MANAGER Cube Voyager allows an additional viewing option for editing ESRI style Geodatabases in the Geodatabase Manager This option provides a similar interface as the ESRI ArcGIS Desktop application Standard ESRI labeling, editing and display features are available which provide a richer set of tools for mapping than are typically available via Cube Graphics Some standard ESRI ArcGIS Desktop functionality is unavailable however FSUTMS COMPREHENSIVE MODELING WORKSHOP 33
