Re: Watercad V8 xm
Mal Sharkey
Hi Abdoosh, You should use a 'Submodel'. There is a Help topic describing how this works - see "Importing and Exporting Submodel Files". It's true that there are a number of tools for moving data into and out of a model, and it is important…

Re: How to build a model using excel data?
Jesse Dringoli
Hello Samir, In order to build a complete model with Modelbuilder, you'll need both node and pipe data, with X/Y coordinates for the nodes. So, you may not have enough information here. My best suggestion would be to add two new fields to the spreadsheet…

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: WaterCAD model builder
Jesse Dringoli
Hello Seylan, I'd recommend reading the help documentation on Modelbuilder, as it should answer your questions. You choose which layers you want to import by using the check boxes on the left side of the very first Modelbuilder step. Then in the…

Re: WaterGEMS/CAD v8i - Managing Controls
Jesse Dringoli
Hello Jack, It's technically possible to do this, using Modelbuilder. As you mentioned, there is some complexity to the relationship between conditions, actions and controls, which means this can be quite involved. Basically you would need to Sync…
