Hi, I’ve sucessfully run the Lismore tutorial case for rAM3, and am now trying to modify the domain location. I’m a bit stuck. The instructions say:
To change the nested region centre within the Rose GUI, navigate to suite conf → Regional Ancillary Suite → Nested region 1 setup. Edit the rg01_centre field and click the Save button
I’m probably not opening the Rose GUI properly, because I don’t see these options. I’m trying to open the Rose GUI using rose edit -C ~/roses/u-bu503, which gives the following. What am I missing? Thanks for the advice!
See the little right-pointing arrow to the left of “suite conf” in the GUI? Click on it, it will expand a series of nested options (that have their own drop-down arrows to expand) under the “suite conf” section:
FYI you can also edit all of this in the rose-suite.conf file in top level of the suite directory, if you prefer a text editor.

For completeness because we don’t know who might read this topic in the future, the GUI might be a good option for beginners because:
it gives more description of the options (small text under the option name for example)
in some cases, it will do some checks to ensure the values given are valid. Or it can provide multi-choice menus when there is a limited number of valid settings for an option.
It’s not perfect by any means but these can be handy add-ons when discovering a suite.
@Claire_Vincent I also believe that if you know the option you want to set ( rg01_centre in your case), you can write it down in the search box in the toolbar and the GUI will navigate to the correct page in the index for you. It might be quicker than following nested sections. (I’m not an expert of the Rose GUI so let us know if I mis-remember).
Good point, thanks. I just know that Claire’s used to using models that are configured via text files
That is also true about the search box - however, it doesn’t expand all the drop-downs for you, so it doesn’t give you information about where it has taken you:
