Civil infrastructure workflow using the Connector for ArcGIS in InfraWorks and Civil 3D - Use the Connector for ArcGIS to configure a proposed sewer in InfraWorks

Transcript

00:03

You can leverage the Connector for ArcGIS to add, manage, and visualize ArcGIS sewer system data in your InfraWorks model.

00:12

Because this example focuses on sewer line placement,

00:16

begin with InfraWorks open to the desired project and the data source already connected and showing the sewer pipe layers.

00:24

Once you have successfully added ArcGIS data to your model,

00:29

you can configure the pipe inverts, sizing, and view options to ensure the sewer is represented correctly in the 3D model.

00:37

First, expand the Views Menu and click Engineering View.

00:42

Now you can see under the surface of your model, which allows you to visualize the sewer lines as they populate.

00:48

To access the data source configuration, click Manage > Content > Data Sources, press ALT+F1,

00:58

or, in the Data Sources panel, double-click Pipe.

01:02

This opens all the source information for the sewer lines in the Data Sources panel.

01:07

Here in the Data Source Configuration dialog,

01:10

you can map the correct attributes from the data in ArcGIS online to your Elevation From and Elevation To inputs.

01:19

Select Elevation (Pipe Invert), set the Elevation From input to StartInvert,

01:26

and the Elevation To input to EndInvert.

01:29

Also, to verify the pipe sizes, map the corresponding attributes to the X and Y sizes to reflect the correct sizing.

01:38

For this example, set both the X and Y sizes to InsideDiameter.

01:43

The last thing you need to configure is the style of the pipe.

01:47

For example, to give them better visibility, from the Rule style drop-down, color them yellow.

01:54

Then, click OK.

01:55

Finally, select Close & Refresh.

01:58

In the model, the pipes populate with the invert elevations and sizing you just set in the Data Source Configuration dialog.
