For a section and manhole view in map we need to import shape files (shp). The shp files need some mandatory information (coordinates x,y,z, unique section/manhole names) that we can show section and manholes correct in map. Those information you will find in the specification section in this article.
Instructions
Specification
Before GIS-data can be transferred into WinCanVX, each GIS field needs to be mapped or assigned manually to the corresponding WinCan field. The most important section/manhole fields are listed below.
Mandatory fields
WinCan matching field | WinCan Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OBJ_Key | Section | Section/Manhole Name (unique name to identify the section/manhole |
| OBJ_Length | Total Length [m] | Length of the section (distance from Upstream Manhole to Downstream Manhole) |
| nodeFromKey | Upstream Node | Name of the Upstream Manhole |
| nodeToKey | Downstream Node | Name of the Downstream Manhole |
Optional fields
WinCan matching field | WinCan Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OBJ_City | Town or Village | Name of the City/Town where the section/manhole is located |
| OBJ_Street | Road | Name of the Street where the section/manhole is located |
| OBJ_Shape | Pipe Shape | Shape of the pipe (circular, rectangular, egg-shaped etc.) |
| OBJ_Size1 | Dia/Height [mm] | Diameter/Height of the pipe [mm] / [inch] |
| OBJ_Size2 | Width [mm] | Width of the pipe [mm] / [inch] |
| OBJ_DepthToInvert | Depth of the manhole (distance from cover to bench/channel) | |
| OBJ_Material | Pipe Material | Material of the pipe (concrete, steel etc.) |
| OBJ_SectionType | Use | Type of section (waste water, stormwater, mixed water) |
| OBJ_Usage | Use | Type of section (replaces OBJ_SectionType in some standards) |
