topic Combining/Copying Data Between InfraWorks Projects in InfraWorks Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/infraworks-forum/combining-copying-data-between-infraworks-projects/m-p/6057372#M21096 <P>Here are 2 workflows used to combine data from one project to another:</P> <P>1. Create an IMX of your entire project area, or the area you want to add to another model.</P> <P>     a. Import the IMX to the 'main' project</P> <P>     b. Choose Data Sources to be added</P> <P><STRONG>NOTE:</STRONG> You will need to Configure each 'type' individually.</P> <P><IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/220589i11DD967FA93F0A13/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" alt="data base2.png" title="data base2.png" border="0" /></P> <P> </P> <P>2. Create a Generic Data Source, and connect to the .SQLite of the project to be added to the 'main' project.</P> <P>     a. Connect to Data Source</P> <P>     b. Connection Type: Generic</P> <P>     c. Provider: SQLIte: Internal SQLite Driver</P> <P>     d. Connection String: <location of InfraWorks Projects> [Default: C:\Users\<user>\Documents\Autodesk InfraWorks Models]</P> <P><IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/220590i7E3CDCCB745D1539/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" alt="data base1.png" title="data base1.png" border="0" /></P> <P> </P> <P>NOTES:</P> <P>1. Using option 1 seems to give a more accurate [cleaner] combined overall model. <STRONG>IMPORTANT:</STRONG> The bigger the model, and more data you import and configure, the longer it will take to complete the regen/config of the processed data.</P> <P>2. When using option 2, the data imports and processes much faster. <STRONG>IMPORTANT: </STRONG>You will need to use option 1 to import the surface data. Using the SQLite will give you a flat surface area at 0 elevation.</P> <P><STRONG>IMPORTANT:</STRONG> If you plan on combining 2 [or more] 200sq km project areas be prepared for <U>long</U> configuration times for each 'type' and also be prepared for your project size to jump by several Gigabites [even if it is relatively small]. Plus; the performance of the model will take a significant hit.</P> Fri, 26 Feb 2016 00:30:45 GMT Willy_Campbell 2016-02-26T00:30:45Z Combining/Copying Data Between InfraWorks Projects https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/infraworks-forum/combining-copying-data-between-infraworks-projects/m-p/6057372#M21096 <P>Have you ever found that the 200sq km you get from Model Builder is not quite sufficient?</P> <P><IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/220586i1EA735117BA68FAB/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" alt="data base3.png" title="data base3.png" border="0" /></P> Fri, 26 Feb 2016 00:30:45 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/infraworks-forum/combining-copying-data-between-infraworks-projects/m-p/6057372#M21096 Willy_Campbell 2016-02-26T00:30:45Z
