IMS 3D Upload Requirements

Prev Next

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:

What is needed

Description

Reference point

A point in the 3D model (x, y, z), together with GPS coordinates (longitude, latitude, altitude). The reference point should be as close as possible to the center of the site.

Angle

An angle between the y-axis in the 3D model and the real North.

3D Model Required Format

IMS is able to natively import NavisWorks (NWD) format files 3D models. To import 3D Models created in other software, it is necessary to import them into NavisWorks and save them in NWD format.

2D Site Map Required Format

The 2D site map can be either in “DWG" or “NWD” format.

FLOC Tagging

There are two ways for tagging FLOCs:

  • Special properties, or

  • Node names.

Tagging with Special Properties

The model Node should have a special property that corresponds to the FLOC name.

Tagged with Node Names (less accurate)

Tagging using Node Names is less accurate than tagging using Special Properties.

When tagging with Node names, the following are required:

  • The Node should contain sub-Nodes that define the FLOC, and

  • The Node’s name should contain the IMS FLOC name (e.g., "N012-CR6-R3010").
