How to create a Geo Plugin for use in the geo data wizard:
- Create a new Geo Plugin for Buildings
- Uncheck the "Use for New Projects" option
- Switch to the GeoLinks tab
- Add a GeoLink
- Switch to the "Maching Attributes" tab
- Add an attribute "LAYER", with a value equal to the exact name of a layer which should be imported.
- Switch back to the "General" tab of the GeoLink.
- Set the "Function" of the GeoLink to the desired Function to create.
- If applicable (e.g. for trees), set the "Geometry" setting to RADIUS_CENTERPOINT
- Repeat the creation of a GeoLink and its configuration, for each type of Function which should be created.
Notes
- A Geo Plugin created through this process can also be linked to a Project Source referring to a DXF on the Geo Share, so that data from that DXF is automatically included in new Projects. To set this up, select that Project Source as source for this Geo Plugin, and ensure the "Use for New Projects" option is checked.
- Due to how new Projects are generated, if a (Buildings) Geo Plugin is set to be usable during Project creation it does not allow setting Geo Links to road Functions. To create roads during Project generation, use a Roads Geo Plugin.
- A Geo Plugin created through this process can also be used automatically define the mapping when the data originates from other data sources, such as GeoJSONs or WFSs.
- If a layer in the DXF file contains features which should be loaded in as different Functions, such as a layer indicating different types of housing, those features are usually differentiated by color. In that case, after adding a LAYER attribute mapping, a second attribute can be added for either COLOR or LAYER_COLOR, so create a Geo Link which will assign a Function if a feature in that layer also has that specific color.
