Analyze the model using Themes and Styles

00:02

So in this session, we're going to look

00:03

at analyzing your Air Force model using

00:06

a different mix of themes and styles

00:09

and analyzation tools in bricks.

00:13

There's several different ways to analyze your data.

00:17

Initially you can analyze the JSF data

00:19

that you brought in by using a feature theme analysis.

00:23

You can analyze your terrain via slope elevation

00:27

different ranges.

00:28

You can analyze a distance in a slope log certain measurements,

00:32

and you can also use suitability maps for best placement

00:36

of corridors.

00:38

And another one that's used quite often

00:40

is a watershed analysis, you can analyze a watershed picking

00:44

maybe your low spire your high spot at your site

00:47

and see what is actually draining to that area.

00:51

So let's open up and is take a look

00:53

at several of these different analysis tools.

00:58

So we're here inside out.

00:59

And for worst model we've brought our GSA data

01:02

all sorts of data in here.

01:03

Now we want to analyze that.

01:05

So I first want to choose the enforce force icon here

01:07

in the top left to the far right.

01:10

You will see analyze your model.

01:13

And I'm just going to work my way top to bottom.

01:15

We'll do a few different analysis.

01:17

First one I'm going to do is terrain themes

01:20

such as select terrain themes.

01:23

It gives us a new palette here.

01:25

I'm going to add a new theme and here we want to give it a name.

01:29

So I'm was going to call it slope

01:32

you want to give it an analysis type with elevation aspect

01:35

and slope to slope we can give it a minimum value

01:40

add a maximum value to leave the default

01:43

and we can give it a number of rules might change that.

01:46

So have more.

01:46

I mean go 12 move a slider bar for transparency.

01:52

We can choose to be a little bit transparent in our analysis

01:54

so we can see what's underneath it.

01:56

So I'm going to put it here.

01:60

And then we had different palette types, different color

02:03

ramps and palettes.

02:05

I'm going to leave it default and then simply select OK.

02:10

So you can see how quick that was to run a slope

02:13

analysis on that site.

02:14

Pretty big site and you can see here

02:16

on the right side, the different quadrants of that,

02:21

you can see our slope here at any time,

02:24

you can run additional analysis or you

02:26

can edit this analysis so much.

02:29

Turn that one off feature themes is another option here.

02:37

I mean go ahead and choose feature themes

02:40

and we brought our soils in here be a shape file.

02:42

I'm going to go to a new theme I'm

02:46

a name it soil's feature class.

02:52

It's going to read the information we have brought in.

02:54

I've got the soil survey what property.

02:58

So what attribute of that soil.

03:00

Do I want to analyze I'm going to choose soil type.

03:09

And then I'm going to do a distribution.

03:11

Individual values.

03:12

So it doesn't matter how many soil types are in there,

03:15

it's going to say, you know each one has its own color

03:19

and do the same thing here.

03:20

Transparency user define it and we'll do red to blue.

03:24

I'm a hit OK.

03:27

She can see there that it classified and separated.

03:30

Each individual soil type.

03:32

And I'll have a bc and D So I can look and see

03:36

where's my the most suitable soils for development,

03:40

where maybe there is not as many options

03:43

here when it comes to soil type a looks like most

03:46

of our development here is in soil

03:48

type c might turn that one off.

03:56

Suitability map.

03:57

I'm going to select suitability map.

03:59

And we're going to see the defaults here.

04:00

And basically what this is going to do.

04:03

It's going to give me what they feel

04:05

is a most suitable or non suitable

04:07

location for a corridor, I believe

04:09

default someone hit apply and you can see here

04:19

where it shows these different areas the cost gradient

04:24

you can see here on my suitability map panel.

04:27

We've got a high cost and red low cost in blue

04:30

that takes a lot of different factors

04:31

into effect, although shape files all the data that we

04:34

have in that model.

04:36

It says it's relatively low cost in the blue areas.

04:40

So a quick analysis there.

04:46

You've got a southern sky.

04:47

You've got point to point.

04:48

So you just measure a couple of points.

04:50

This one here to the distance and slope.

04:53

I'm going to select that I'm just

04:55

going to pick a point on our site

04:57

and just drag it and see the slope at any point.

05:00

So I can see where my slope is going.

05:04

So it looks like I'm going downhill at roughly half

05:06

a percent across that site, which works out really

05:09

well when you're trying to develop kind of

05:11

know that low spot and an average slope is flat.

05:14

Is it too steep quick way to look at that.

05:21

Another option we discussed was a watershed analysis

05:23

is a very powerful tool that will show you

05:26

exactly what is draining to a spot we define

05:29

and what we select some of the collapse

05:34

that I go to the drainage module.

05:38

And here we've got the same.

05:40

We've got terrain themes create watersheds several other

05:43

options there are just simply select create watersheds

05:48

and to pick an outlet point.

05:50

So this will be my low spot.

05:51

So I'm going to choose just going to choose down here

05:55

towards the end of my development.

05:56

Now let's go to the middle.

05:59

So what's going to drain their analysis.

06:02

Press enter to start the analysis going

06:09

to give it a moment.

06:11

It does run the analysis in a cloud.

06:12

You do have to be connected to the internet.

06:14

But it's going to analyze that surface quickly.

06:17

And it's going to give me an area that

06:19

is then draining to my sites.

06:22

You can see this area that has highlighted

06:25

has the ability to drain to that spot.

06:28

I selected.

06:29

So floodplain analysis watershed analysis very simple,

06:33

easy to use analysis tools within InfraWorks

06:36

based on a lot of information that we brought in.

06:39

So we now have defined parameters for our site.

06:42

We see that our site is very suitable for development.

06:45

And we can make a more informed decision

06:46

on when to move forward.
