In Civil 3D, you can select only the key individual ArcGIS attributes you want to publish
00:10
in your Civil 3D model to filter out potentially sensitive project data.
00:16
Begin with Civil 3D open to the appropriate sewer design project,
00:21
and ensure you are logged in to ArcGIS Online.
00:26
In this example, as-built information for a sanitary sewer needs to be shared with project stakeholders.
00:35
To do so in ArcGIS Online, on the ribbon, Output tab, Publish panel, click Publish to ArcGIS.
00:46
The sign in dialog box appears.
00:49
Click Connect.
00:50
In the Publish to ArcGIS dialog box, select the Civil 3D objects you want to publish.
00:58
By default, all the objects are selected.
01:01
Click Clear All to deselect all the objects and subcomponents in the data tree.
01:08
Then, click Collapse All.
01:12
Now you can choose only what you need.
01:14
For this example, enable the Pipe Networks and sewer network checkboxes,
01:20
and then click OK.
01:23
Next, the Publish to ArcGIS wizard displays, starting with the Area of Interest page.
01:30
This page shows the area on the map where the selected objects will be published.
01:36
Review the area for location accuracy, and then click Next.
01:42
The Layer Definition page appears.
01:46
This is where you specify the ArcGIS layer name for each Map 3D layer.
01:52
Here, select only the key data you want to publish to ArcGIS for any given project.
01:59
This allows you to filter out any sensitive information that does not need to be public,
02:05
instead of publishing all the data to ArcGIS at once.
02:10
For this example, from the Pipes drop-down menu, enable the InsideDiameter, Length, Slope, StartInvert, and EndInvert
02:22
checkboxes as the attributes you want to publish.
02:26
Click Next.
02:28
The Items Setting page displays.
02:31
In the General drop-down menu, in the Service Name field, type a name that describes your project.
02:39
For this example, enter, “Silo_Asbuilt_Sewer”.
02:44
When you publish to ArcGIS Online, it is important that you add specific tags to the data you are publishing,
02:52
to make it easier for everyone working on the project to find your layout.
02:58
In the Tags field, type in a tag name, or select a pre-existing tag from the selection of default tags.
03:07
For this example, click Silo.
03:10
Next, expand Advanced Settings to specify whether your content is editable.
03:17
Also, select all the groups you want to share your model with.
03:21
For this example, file editing is enabled and the AMER group is chosen.
03:28
Click Next.
03:29
Finally, the Publishing Location page displays.
03:33
Within your My Content folder, select a publishing location, such as AppleSprings for this example, and then click Publish.
03:44
A Publish to ArcGIS loading dialog box displays, reporting the progress.
03:50
Once the publishing process is complete, you can view the newly published as-built data in ArcGIS Online.
03:59
Here, when you select the same pipes as before, you can see that the desired data is published with the custom field attributes.
