Editing Feature Presets
You can edit the default feature presets, which will then be available for all models, or you can edit the copy that is saved with the model itself. In most cases, it is usually better to edit the copy that is saved with the model.
You cannot edit a feature preset if the classifier is locked. It is not recommended to unlock and then edit the presets in a trained classifier. It is almost always better to create a duplicate of the trained classifier and then experiment with the settings of the copy.
Editing Dataset Features
Whenever a preset is added to the features tree, a copy is made and saved automatically with the model. You can then edit the copy without changing the default settings. You can also edit the default dataset feature presets, if required.
How to Edit a Dataset Feature
- Do one of the following:
- If you want to edit the copy of the preset that is saved with the classifier, right-click the dataset feature in the features tree and then choose Edit in the pop-up menu.
- If you want to edit a default preset, right-click the preset in the Dataset Features box and then choose Edit in the pop-up menu.
The Feature Presets dialog appears. See Feature Presets for information about the Feature Presets dialog.
- If you want to edit the copy of the preset that is saved with the classifier, right-click the dataset feature in the features tree and then choose Edit in the pop-up menu.
- Do one of the following:
- Check the Auto-Generate Description option, recommended. If selected, the description of the filters in the preset and their settings will updated automatically.
- Edit the description in the edit box. Make sure that the Auto-Generate Description option is not selected.
- Remove any filters from the preset that are not required.
- To do so, select the filter you want to remove in the Filters in Preset box and then click the Remove from Preset button.
- To do so, select the filter you want to remove in the Filters in Preset box and then click the Remove from Preset button.
- Add any filters that you want to include in the preset.
- To do so, select the required filter(s) in the Available Filters box and then click the Add to Preset button.

- Click the Save button to save the modifications you made to the feature preset.
- Click the Save as New Preset button to create a new feature preset.
How to Edit a Region Features Preset
Whenever a preset is added to the features tree, a copy is made and saved automatically with the model. You can then edit the copy without changing the default settings. You can also edit the default region feature presets, if required.
You should also note that Region must be selected as the working area to access the region feature presets.
- Do one of the following:
- If you want to edit the copy of the preset that is saved with the classifier, right-click the region feature in the features tree and then choose Edit in the pop-up menu.
- If you want to edit a default preset, right-click the preset in the Region Features box and then choose Edit in the pop-up menu.
The Feature Presets dialog appears. See Feature Presets for information about the Feature Presets dialog.
