Shapefile is an Esri legacy format used to describe georeferenced GIS features (points, lines, polygons, and limited multipatches). It has limited support for GIS attributes and should be considered superseded by Esri FileGDB.
Import options
For shapefile import, the following options are available:
Option | Description |
---|---|
File |
Note:
|
Coordinate System |
|
Using Attributes from SHP file |
Note:The Source field is set to Object, which denotes that the CGA height attribute is controlled by the object attribute of the lot. |
Graph options
The following graph options are available:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Run Generate Bridges Tool after Import | If enabled, the Generate Bridges tool is run on a subsequent wizard page. |
Run Simplify Graph Tool after Import | If enabled, the Simplify Graph tool is run on a subsequent wizard page. |
Run Graph Cleanup Tool after Import | Depending on the shapefile data, it may be necessary to clean up the graph segments after import. If enabled, the Cleanup Graph tool is run on a following wizard page. |
Create Street/Intersection Shapes from Graph | If enabled, the shape creation parameter of the graph nodes and segments is enabled and street shapes are created. |
Create Block/Lot Shapes from Graph | If enabled, the shape creation parameter of potentially created street blocks is enabled and shapes are created. |
Map shapefile attributes
If enabled, an imported graph layer contains the following layer attribute code:
This mapping controls the width of the street shapes generated from the graph center lines. In the default behavior, the width object attribute is used to determine the resulting street width and defaults to 8 if no object attribute is found.
You can edit the default mapping code by changing the CGA code in the shp.ceattr file in the /ce.lib/rules/ directory.
