2D Mesh Editing in InfoWorks ICM

Module overview

Learn to use the many tools available in InfoWorks ICM to enhance the detail of your 2D meshes, beyond simply representing the topology from the ground model. Mesh editing objects can come from external GIS files, layers displayed on the GeoPlan view, or objects within the network.

After completing, you'll be able to:

• Edit and enhance 2D meshes by adding roughness zones, polygon voids, mesh zones, porous walls, and more.
• Add 2D network results objects, which allow you to enhance the interrogation of 2D results.
• Add and configure building polygons as appropriate for your model representation.
