The following table lists element types that can be selected and modified using Editor. Some types of element can be modified if they belong to an administrative element such as a ZONE or FRMW, but they cannot be individually modified if they belong to a Plant Item. For example, A GENSEC element can be selected and moved if it belongs to a FRMW or SBFR element, but not if it belongs to a TMPL element.
