Historically, the default schema used by InfraWorks was “fixed”, having a predefined number of feature classes and attributes. This limited the number of unique features (and data) InfraWorks was able to consume and represent. As a result, it was a challenge to manage multiple utility types or leverage extended attribution.
Today, InfraWorks 2020 includes a new Extend Schema Tool that makes it easy to create custom feature classes having virtually unlimited attribution. By opening up the schema, designers now have much more control over the organization of attached content while also increasing the value of data analysis and visualization. In today’s installment, we’ll use the Extend Schema Tool to create a custom feature class (with attributes) and then explore some ways to take advantage of the rich attribution.
If you're interested, I’ve recorded a video that walks through everything…
