Update from Ground Model Dialog

This dialog is used to update network object data by sampling a selected Ground Model.

The dialog is displayed when a network object that can be updated is included in the current selection and the Model | Update from ground model menu option is selected.

Option Description
Insert vertices on lines to give a maximum spacing of

Applicable to lines (river lines, base linear structures and bridge linear structures).

If existing vertices of the lines are separated by a distance greater than the specified maximum spacing, extra vertices will be inserted at regular intervals between existing vertices to meet the maximum spacing specified.

Do not insert vertices on lines between existing vertices with elevations

Applicable to lines (river lines, base linear structures and bridge linear structures).

Enabled when Insert vertices to give a maximum spacing of option is selected.

When this option is checked, new vertices will not be inserted between vertices that already have elevation values.

Intended for use when extending a line. Insertion of vertices and ground model sampling can be carried out for the extended parts of the line leaving the original part of the line unchanged.

Overwrite existing elevations

Applicable to lines (river lines, base linear structures and bridge linear structures).

Check this option to overwrite the original elevation values at existing vertices with values determined from the Ground Model.

If this option is unchecked, elevation values at existing vertices will be retained. Existing vertices with no elevation specified will be updated with elevations sampled from the Ground Model.

Reset existing storage array tables

Applicable to storage/pond nodes.

Select this option to recalculate level-area values in the storage array table. Existing level-area values will be removed prior to update.

Set parameters for setting level-area values:

  • Storage node level interval: determines the increment in level values in the level-area table of the storage node or pond node.
  • Minimum storage node level: lowest level to be used when updating the storage node or pond level-area table. By default, this level will be the lowest ground model height within all storage polygons associated with selected nodes.
  • Maximum storage node level: highest level to be used when updating the storage node or pond level-area table. By default, this level will be the highest ground model height within all storage polygons associated with selected nodes.
Update existing storage array tables

Applicable to storage/pond nodes.

Select this option to recalculate the area value for existing levels in the storage array table.

Ground Model

Select the ground model to be sampled.

If a ground model is currently loaded onto the GeoPlan, this selection box will be automatically populated.
