Handout Water Module

Create New Project

1. Click in the Main Menu on New Project
2. Provide a name for the New Project (max 20 characters) and click on Empty Project.
3. For the location, fill in Kockengen and click on Enter. Move the square with the left mouse button. The part of the map in the square will be your 3D world. With the sliders on the right side, it is possible to enlarge the square. However, the smaller the square is, the faster the 3D model will be generated. For the following steps, choose a size of max 2 x 2 km.
4. Then click on Advanced Options
5. Here you can check datasets that are used to generate the 3D world. By default, the IMWA data source is checked by which Culverts are automatically imported (if they are available for your location in the open dataset). If you have your own Culvert dataset, you can uncheck the IMWA data source here. Also make note of the DEM resolution. Select a high DEM resolution to use the most accurate AHN data.
6. Finally click on generate map to generate the 3D world from open data.

Import depth of water terrains

Note that it is not possible to return to the original heightmap. Therefore it is stronly advised to work with different verisons of your project, to always have the opporunity to go back to a previous version in case something went wrong with importing data.

1. Hover over de knop Overlays en klik op Add Heightmap. Nu wordt de hoogtekaart toegevoegd.
