IMS 3D Upload Requirements

3D models can be uploaded via Settings.

This document describes what information needs to be supplied to enable a 3D Model upload:

• Alignment data
• 3D Model in correct format
• 2D Site map in correct format
• Tagged Flocs

Alignment Data

For the onshore sites, the following data is required for model alignment:

3D Model in required format

Only NavisWorks (nwd) format is supported and can be uploaded in IMS 3D.

2D Site Map in required format

The 2D site map can be either in “dwg" or “nwd” format.

The 2D site map needs to be in “dwg” or “nwd” format. 

Tagged FLOCs

There are two ways for tagging FLOCs:

• Special properties, or
• Node names.

Tagged with Special properties

The model Node should have a special property that corresponds to the FLOC name. In the following example the “Asset link” corresponds to the FLOC name.

Tagged with Node names (less accurate)

This method of tagging is less accurate.

When tagging with Node names, the following is required:

• The Node should contain sub-Nodes that define the FLOC, and
• The Node’s name should contain the IMS FLOC name (e.g., "N011-CD6-R301").

In the following example the “NavisWorks” Node name corresponds to the FLOC name.

A NavisWorks 3D Model Node name that contains the FLOC name.
