Watergems: I am trying to add new pipes and junctions from dxf file. But junction elevations are not getting reflected after modelbuilder. I am mapping elevation to "elevation". Generally this method works. But it is not working when i am trying
Pankhuri Agrawal
My surveyor gives me point elevations in dxf file, situated along centerline of pipeline. When I build my model in Watergems, i usually map "elevation" attribute in junction to elevation field in AutoCAD file. This ensures that i get accurate point elevations…

Zac Watson
Hi, I have exported and aerial image as a .tiff file and route of a pipeline as a DXF from QGIS. The pipeline traverses the area covered by the aerial image. When I import them as background layers in WaterCAD there end up in completely different…

Some pipes are removed after importing from dxf
Sebastián Seminario
I am trying to import 2 dxf files containing a set of lines through ModelBuilder. When I imported the first one, the network is correctly created with pipes corresponding to each line and joints are automatically created to connect pipes. However…

RE: Can WaterCad import survey files?
MPachlhofer
Regan, WaterCAD has the capabilities to model what you're asking about using a DGN or DTM file. The elevations from your survey drawings, depending on the format of the drawings, can be extracted to the node elements in the model using the Terrain Extractor…

RE: Watergems/sewergems/civilstorm to Navisworks ???
MPachlhofer
Vishal, WaterGEMS can export to a DXF file, EPANET file (.INP), and if you have the i-model publishing engine installed, a .DGN file. The i-model publishing engine can be downloaded with any Hydraulics and Hydrology product from the download page. This…

RE: error message
Craig Calvin
Hi Sameh, Please try the potential solutions in the following article. Shapefile or DXF background "invalid or corrupt" error (Solution 500000071823) If that doesn't help, please provide the model files, the DXF, and the error log. There is…

RE: watercad/gem entering elevation at each node
Akshaya Niraula
Here's one way to do it and you will need ArcGIS for this. (These steps are from my memory so you may have to adjust the steps or wording) 1) Add your DXF or DWG to ArcGIS/ArcMAP 2) Save the Annotation layer and Point to shapefile format. Right click…

Re: Export SubModel and DXF
Akshaya Niraula
Mohamad, Submodel: it supports your selection. So, select first then File > Export > Submodel DXF: Export to submodel first based on your selection then in a new empty project, File > Import Submodel then FIle > Export > Dxf.

Re: error message on .dxf background
Jesse Dringoli
Hello Serge, Technical problems like this are best handled through Technical Support, but there are a few basics things to check. This error is generic, so it could indicate any number of problems with the DXF file. A good first step would be to…

StormCAD: Problems viewing my background layers
roman77
I brought in a few dxf files I created from dgn files into StormCAD as background layers but I'm not able to see them displayed on the drawing screen. Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening? Thanks.

Re: Problem when using CAD data to generate network modell using WaterCAD V8i
Mal Sharkey
Ideally you would set a label for the junctions (and pipes, etc.) in the CAD file, but unfortunately DXF files (the CAD file format currently supported by ModelBuilder) aren't very good at storing attributes along with the lines and points. There are…

Re: Background shapefile with streetnames not showing
Mal Sharkey
As a bit of background, the stand-alone version of WaterGEMS is not intended to have the same GIS or CAD power as the platorms WaterGEMS can run on (MicroStation, ArcGIS, AutoCAD), so for background layer power it is best to work on one of those plaftorms…
