Import Data

Import

Import data from file-based or database sources through the Data Sources panel. You can create the base model data and then import the various types of data objects to complete your model. Alternatively, you can the Model Builder to create the base, then bring other data sources into the model to it.

Note: By default, InfraWorks 360 converts incoming file formats into a usable format through the cloud. You can set Data Import options to use local import for supported formats.

Map Properties - Configure Data

The most important part of the import process is to map original properties of source data to the properties specified in the model. The more fields you can map your data to, the more accurate your model will be.

Different data types have different model property fields to which to map original source data properties. See To configure data for more information.
