1. Extract geospatial CAD data into EXOR/GIS

system

• Design Data is tagged in as PENDING

• Project is build, Data is modified to

INSTALLED

2. Data can be pushed back into a DGN file

Planning PhaseOverview CAD to Asset Prototype

AEC APPLICATIONS

What are we asking our designers to in addition to their

normal CAD workflow?Populate asset information on proposed elements in their Design Files.

Which Asset should we start with?� Guiderail, Signs, Drainage or Illumination

� Consider only assets that had well defined metadata standards

What should be in the Data Model?� Each Asset has a Steward/SME

� Additional attribution to help Design

Which CAD Software would be most efficient?
