Exporting Drawings

You can export drawings (that is, polylines or polygonal areas) to GeoJSON format to be able to tune GIS data through a dedicated editor (such as QGIS). The modified data can then be uploaded to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and added to your experience.

  1. Create drawings in your experience.

    These drawings can be polylines or polygonal areas created through Create Area or Create Polyline .

    For example:

  2. If the drawings to be exported are not located under a node in the tree, right-click in the tree, select Add Group, and then move the drawings to be exported to this new group node.

    For more information, see Grouping Items Together.

  3. Right-click the node containing the drawings to be exported, and then select Export Drawing.
    A tab named "exported_node_name.geojson" is displayed at the bottom of the widget.
  4. Click the up arrow next to the tab name, and then select Show in folder to display the storage location on your local disk.

    By default, the file is saved in C:\Users\user_name\Downloads.

  5. Open the data editor then drop the .geojson file to the editor.
  6. Select the layers to be added then click OK.
  7. Make the necessary adjustments.

  8. Save or export your changes to GeoJSON format.
  9. From the Compass, click 3D Modeling Apps .
  10. Click City Upload Assistant.
  11. Upload the .geojson file to the appropriate collaborative space.
  12. From the Compass, click Social and Collaborative Apps .
  13. Click 3DSpace.
  14. From 3DSpace, drag the .geojson file to your experience.
    The modified drawings are now visible in your experience.

    They are identified by the symbol in the tree which means that it is a dynamic layer managed as geospatial data (based on a query on EXALEAD CloudView), and thus the drawings cannot be edited.

    Tip: To keep your temporary items when saving your experience, move them from the Temporary Items folder to any other permanent location in the tree, or create a dedicated group.
