It can be helpful to open your network model in a 3D network window to see the network data in 3D.
00:10
This can help to identify pipe clashes or erroneous data.
00:13
The view can be enhanced with the use of a ground model and can also display results.
00:19
To complete this exercise, use the 1d sewer network model and 1m ground model,
00:24
or copy the data from the provided transportable.
00:28
First load the network model and then load the ground model into the GeoPlan
00:32
by dragging and dropping or double clicking the 1m ground model object.
00:37
To create a 3D view of the network, in the Windows toolbar, click New 3D network window.
00:44
Note that it can take a bit of time to generate, depending on the amount of data.
00:48
Use the mouse buttons to navigate through the 3D view.
00:52
Use the scroll wheel to zoom in or out.
00:55
The view displays what would be seen by a person at the viewpoint, looking towards the center point.
01:01
Right-click the 3D view and select Properties.
01:05
This has additional options to customize the view and toggle the display of terrain, network objects, and results.
01:12
Since you are viewing a relatively flat ground model, set the Elevation-exaggeration factor to 5
01:18
and click OK to make it easier to see variations in elevation.
01:22
If you have a selection of objects, only they will appear in the 3D network window when generated.
01:29
You can also press and hold the Ctrl key to limit the creation extents to the objects with the current GeoPlan zoom extent.
01:36
It is a good idea to close 3D views as soon as you are finished,
01:39
because they use up resources on your computer.
01:42
To close the view, right-click the tab and select Close tab.

Note: It can take a bit of time to generate, depending on the amount of data.
The view displays what would be seen by a person at the viewpoint, looking towards the center point.
The 3D View Properties dialog box has additional options to customize the view and toggle the display of terrain, network objects, and results. For example, to make it easier to see variations in elevation in a ground model that is relatively flat:
When creating a 3D view, if a selection of objects is made, only those objects appear in the 3D network window when it is generated. Also, pressing and holding the CTRL key limits the creation extents to the objects with the current GeoPlan zoom extent.
It is a good idea to close 3D views when finished, because they use up resources on the computer.
