Constructing 3D View for Pipeline Network via SuperMap iDesktop
A pipeline network view is often composed of:
- Pipelines
- Feature points like elbows, tee joints, etc.
- Attachments such as valves
- Other facilities like wells, well covers, etc.
Let’s see the workflow to construct 3D pipeline network:
Detailed steps are as follows:
- Construct 3D network dataset based on existing 2D data, existing 3D data, or data collected in the filed
- Construct 3D marker symbol library. 3D symbols have 2 sources: Import models built in professional 3D modeling software; self-adaptive marker symbols automatically built via SuperMap iDesktop according to pipelines
3D Symbol Library
Models from professional 3D modeling software 3DS MAX
Self-adaptive marker symbol
- Construct 3D line symbol library via SuperMap iDesktop. You can create new 3D line symbols through specifying the section shape and texture.
- Construct 3D pipeline view through symbology

8 年I think SuperMap Software is on the right track. You seem to have integrated it with GIS. But, most utilities are not comfortable putting all this sensitive data onto the Cloud. You must have the option to store data local and use the software local. Also, you are going to have a heck of a time breaking into the GIS market, 90% dominated by ESRI. Tell us why we should change our Enterprise GIS to your software or buy a 2nd GIS to use along side ESRI? does your software integrate with SQL Server or Oracle? what about WebMapping options from the Developer perspective? does it integrate with Asset Management Software Systems or Hydraulic Modeling software? ESRI integrates well with all these. I do applaud your efforts and plan to keep an eye on your product. No plans to buy it for now, but keeping an eye open to the future.

8 年If each pipe, valve, other assets cannot be linked to a GIS database, all you have is a "pretty picture", a very expensive one at that. To go mainstream, its got to be more than that.

8 年That's very nice .please share with the viewers the 3D data will support Developemt and integration with other systems (Scada,SAP etc ) as well.

8 年Try doing that 'out of the box' with the major GIS product in the market - with extensions you would be looking at north of $25K AUD.

8 年Useful to build models to visualize pipeline network & associated GIS data. Would like to know whether this utility finds interest or is in use in the utility industry?
