Aggregating Data

Use FDO to Connect to Data: Parcel and zoning polygons Infrastructure such as roads and utilities Aerial photos

AutoCAD® Map 3D reduces data conversion issues and data loss Access CAD, GIS, and BIM data easily and quickly in one environment

Creates a more complete picture for better decision making AutoCAD® Map 3D accepts data from over 200 types of data sources and

virtually any coordinate system

Using Styles and Themes

Select individual layers to edit style or create a theme Styles can be used to change color and linetype Themes are best when applying color and text based on a

specific property

Add symbols and text to enhance display Control feature labels based on attributes Add symbols with a relationship to property data (ie. flow

arrows)

Refining Data – AutoCAD® Map 3D Analysis

Overlay Analysis Compare different features to create

a new layer Select from a list of analysis types

for best results

Data Tables Utilize tables to filter or locate specific

entities Table is interactive with data in map Edit directly in table, but it won’t save

back to source

Queries Calculations can be made using

attributes or geometry

Preparing Model for Autodesk® Storm and Sanitary Analysis

Cleanup• Topologies• Manual editing and deleting

Establishing flows Existing based on historic data or estimates Proposed – typically for new developments

Exporting SHP files Ensure desired data is imported into map Use Map 3D Export command

Importing GIS Data

Order of importing Pay attention to contents of pipe, junction,

and subbasin files Check settings to avoid overwriting data

Matching properties Verify matching, especially less common properties (ie. Flow) Currently no way to save the matching setup

Confirming data and connections Use options for connecting links and orphan nodes

Add background data for context (CAD or images)

Checking Flows

External flows Existing input Proposed Sanitary Time Patterns

Stormwater precipitation Rain gauges IDF curves

Running the Analysis

Project Options Units and default settings Methodology selections are critical to analysis

Analysis Options Key components are:

Duration Timestep Storm Selection (for stormwater setups) External files

Warnings – review the log file

Evaluating Alternatives

Saving scenarios With each run, the results can be saved to compact files

Adding/edting data Create new elements that can be saved back to SHP file Monitor changes using track changes option

Comparing results View more than one analysis at a time Create various outputs for documentation

Visualizing Results

Profile plot View results in profile view Edit display as needed to see only pertinent data

Animations Play simulation of analysis over the specified

duration Results displayed can be exported as avi or wmv

for sharing

Other outputs Time series plot Display and legends in plan view

Roundtripping Data

Export SHP file from Autodesk® Storm and Sanitary Analysis Include results along with pipes and

manholes

Attach updated SHP file in AutoCAD® Map 3D Style and filter data to illustrate potential

issues When re-attaching, all data will be shown

unless filtered
