A common occurrence with Project Templates is that additional data is required in order to make their calculations function properly. This data can include buildings or other Buildings. To minimize the effort required to create new projects which rely on additional data, a Geo Plugin can be set up to automatically import that data into new projects. For Buildings, this does not only include setting up the Geo Plugin itself, but also a Geo Link to define the desired Function(s).
How to set up a Geo Plugin to import Building:
- Ensure a Project Source is set up from which the relevant Buildings can be obtained.
- Open the overview for Geo Plugins.
- At the bottom of the left panel, select the BUILDINGS type and select "Add".
- Select the newly created Geo Plugin.
- In the right panel, click on the source's "Select", and select the Project Source which relates to the desired GeoJSON.
- Configure the layer (if applicable for the specified Project Source). Configure the Attribute for the name and unique ID accordingly.
- Switch to the "GeoLinks" tab, and select "Add" at the bottom to add a Geo Link. Select the newly added Geo Link.
- In the bottom panel, click on "Select Fuction".
- Select the desired Function to import the Buildings as.
- The Geo Plugin is now confgured.
Notes
- Geo Plugins are only used when a Project is used as a Project Template for the creation of a new Project.
- One layer may potentially contain multiple types of Buildings which should be loaded in as separate Functions. Multiple Geo Links can be added, each for a single Function, and with "Matching Attributes" defined to filter which features in the data source are applicable for that Function.
