Hi all,
Has anyone come up with some creative options for visualizing water age in GIS? If you're only looking at a small area, simply making a color/size-varying symbology from exported junction or pipe tables is fine. But, for a large area, junctions get too cluttered or shorter pipes become too small to see. I've seen heat maps made from junction results, but you have to be cautious with the interpretation, as for instance open areas with no infrastructure get filled in with values from the interpolation.
This additionally would be in the context of showing improvements in water age, so ideally a clean way to have side-by-side maps with noticeable differences.
Thanks,
Nina
Hello Nina,
Generally color coding the network (color and size) or preparing contours (for result values) is what can be done in the standalone platform.
However, in the GIS environment there ought to be some additional tools which can help you develop user specific visualizations.
Currently you can generate graphs, profiles and annotate elements based on the desired result fields.
One option would be to generate an i-model and then annotate it.
Annotating elements in an i-model
This might help you.
