This post will present how ContexCapture's final information can bring more information to your hydraulic model.
ContextCapture can produce surface and terrain models and orthophotos using as base photos, videos and/or laser scan. Bentley's hydraulic modeling solution can read the terrain extracted by ContextCapture Editor, and the orthophotos images as a background layer.
Regarding the orthophoto produced by ContexCapture, it can be saved as TIF. See ContextCapture's dialog box:
This production will save this TIF together with a TFW file, that contain coordinate information.
The patch of files is named World file, and the background layers tool can read the TFW file for image's positioning:
As said before, ContextCapture Editor application can read the mesh surface produced to extract the digital terrain model. It will save a TIN file:
This TIN file can be used with T-Rex, for elevation extraction. And, exclusively for Sewer/Storm Bentley products, it can be loaded with Terrain Model feature, for dynamic elevation interpretation:
