Using SHP Files to Model Underground Utilities in InfraWorks
InfraWorks makes it easy to stylize SHP files that are dragged and dropped into its interface. This workflow becomes even more powerful when a SHP file includes vertical data. By leveraging a feature’s elevational properties, you can quickly convert GIS data into an accurate 3D model.
In today’s installment, we’ll explore a workflow to model an underground utility using the vertical data stored within a SHP file. In the example, we’ll be creating a storm sewer network, however this workflow would apply to any underground piping or structures for which you have vertical attribution.
