Infraworks Tutorial Location

Anonymous — Thu, 02 Feb 2017 11:34:19 GMT

Hi All,

I am currently putting together a workflow along with a guide for my team to learn how to use Infraworks 360 and how it can work alongside Formit 360. For this guide I have used the following Tutorial and adapted it for them to learn what they need.

I was wondering how i could find out the location of this tutorial? Or is it simply a ghost model that does not exist? If it is a real location then I can type in the address/coordinates into the Formit 360 model and they can work from both models with both satellite imagery overlaid.

Thanks,

Tom

@Anonymous, you can easily find out the location of a model by going into the Model Properties and check the DBase Coordinate System. In there you will also find the Model Extents by coordinates:

Now, when in your model, when you hover over the Terrain, you will see the cursor coordinates in the left lower part of your screen so you can exactly see your location. These Model Coordinates are depending on your UCS Coordinate setting, which you can change as you want in the Model Properties.

This should get you going forward in Formit 360.

Hi John,

Thank you for the reply. I understand this, however I Formit 360 does not seem to have a function where you can input the X and Y.

I have then also tried to locate the address by simply Googling the X and Y and having now luck.

These are the coordiantes:

Thanks,

Tom

@Anonymous, if you go to maps.google.com and just type in your LAT, LONG coordinates like this:

35.0935850, -106.5777120

Then you should get the exact project location:

Ahhh, I was stupidly typing in the Lat and Long the wrong way around!

Thank you for your assistance John, very helpful.
