Tutorial resources
These downloadable resources will be used to complete this tutorial:
Ground models for use in ICM typically represent the ground surface in the areas covered by a hydraulic model. This can be a single file, or multiple files that can be selected and combined on import.
A range of formats can be imported. This includes LandXML, which allows the exchange of data from other Autodesk products like Civil3D. See the Help file for a detailed list of formats.
To import a ground model—in this tutorial, a 1 meter resolution gridded ground model imported from multiple files:
After the import is complete, the 1m Ground Model is added to the database tree. Note that once a ground model is imported, it becomes a read-only object. If changes or updates are required, a new one must be created.
To load the ground model:
The ground model allows the model to be viewed in the context of the surrounding areas.
To unload the ground model from the GeoPlan:
IMPORTANT: There is a size limit for importing files. If the import fails for a large or very high-resolution ground model, split the file into several smaller ones, and then import.
