SHP file import, colorcoding

Anonymous — Tue, 10 Nov 2015 12:57:35 GMT

Hi,

I have a customer that has tried to import a SHP file and this shape file has a coverage area information, which he would like to show the vegetation type of, by using colour on top of the aerial photo.

The SHP file in Map-3D is coloured and the layers as shown below.

I would like to import the SHP file and define the colour during configuration, something similar to Civil/Map.

Is this possible?

Hi Mike,

I think this could be accomplished by importing the shp data and configuring it as a Land Area, then using a feature theme in conjunction with metadata from the SHP file to determine your colors. (Use the property field to specify the attribute that determines vegetation type.)

Additionally, once you have imported your data, you could use style rules to map different styles to subsets of your coverage area (from SHP file). In order to do this, you would need to have some attributes in your SHP file that specify vegetation types using an ID or Tag.

Here's some more information about using Style Rules.

You could also try this during import, using Rule Styles.

Does that make sense? Let me know if you have any more questions.

Best,

Elliott
