If imported data uses a different co-ordinate system than your model uses, InfraWorks 360 will transform the imported data to the model's co-ordinate system during import. Specify a co-ordinate system for imported data or manually position imported data to resolve this.
Generally, InfraWorks 360 can correctly position imported data automatically, based on the data itself.
To specify the co-ordinate system during import
- Click
to open the Data Sources panel. - Import the data .
- Right-click the imported data in the Data Sources panel and select Configure to display the Data Source Configuration dialogue box.
- Select the Geo Location tab.
- Source Co-ordinate System: Most of the time, InfraWorks is able to determine the source co-ordinate system automatically, based on attributes of the data source. If necessary, specify the co-ordinate system of the incoming data in this field.
- Position (Target) Co-ordinate System: this is the co-ordinate system that InfraWorks will use to store and display the imported data.
- You can also specify a Local Origin for imported data. This is helpful if the imported dataset has no world file associated with it. Note: See the To manually position imported data section below for more information about using the Geo-Location tab.
- Click Close & Refresh.
To manually position imported data
- Open the Data Source Configuration dialogue box for the desired data and click the Geo Location tab.
- To control the positioning manually, do either:
- Enter x, y, z co-ordinates in the Position section.
- Select Interactive Placing and position the data in the model using the mouse.
When you place a 3D model interactively, you can use the mouse wheel in conjunction with a modifier key to adjust it. This is useful for 3D models that have no world file.
- To adjust projections for project specifics (for example, false easting/northing), enter an arbitrary offset to the data using the Offset X, Y and Z fields.
Note: Scale (X, Y) and Rotation (X, Y, Z) are not available during import of IMX data when the imported data uses a Geographic Co-ordinate System or a Project Co-ordinate System.
