In this section, we will discuss an alternative method to compile a Wadiso model by importing and converting a CAD drawing to a system model. This is a two-stage process, in which the CAD drawing will first be converted into a GIS database, and then from there, into a Wadiso model. Spatial correlation will be used to assign text from the CAD drawing to the model. This can be accomplished via the following steps:

 

•Creating a new model database

 

•Opening the geospatially positioned background CAD drawing

 

•Creating a GIS pipe layer from the CAD drawing

 

•Adding diameters to the pipe data using spatial correlation

 

•Verifying the correctness (and saving) of the spatial correlation data

 

•Converting the pipe GIS into a model

 

•Renumbering the model

 

•Additional steps to complete the model input for subsequent analysis
