For polygons representing water features, edges are automatically rounded to resemble ponds or lakes.
- Follow the general import instructions.
- On the Data Source Configuration screen, on the Common tab, map properties from the data source to the following:
- Water Level: The depth of the water.
Water Level is used in conjunction with the Draping settings on the Source tab. You can drape a feature on the terrain and then move it 5 meters below ground level by using an elevation offset of -5.
- Buffer Width: The border between the water feature and the surrounding area.
- Bank Width: The area within the water border that is not covered by water.
- Water Level: The depth of the water.
- If the elevation of the water lies under the terrain, click the Source tab and set Draping Options to Set Elevation.
Enter a value or select the property that represents the relationship between the data and the elevation of the terrain. To modify a property to make it accurately represent the elevation, click
and enter an expression. - Specify how closed polylines in the source data will be treated in the model.
Leaving the check box unselected will treat a water feature as a river, while selecting it will treat it as a pond or lake.
