MapInfo

The import format MapInfo® (MapInfo Corporation, USA) enables the importing of so-called MIF files (ASCII) which contain the geometrical references for objects like, e.g., building coordinates. If necessary you can also assign object layers (button „Option“).

The generally supplied ASCII data file with the extension MID contains further parameters like, e.g., object height, MDTD, or road distances etc. Both files should be stored in the same directory.

If not all attributes are imported you have to assign the pertinent CadnaA attributes once (see Unknown Attributes to Memo-Variable)

Further import options:

• Object Layer (see Allocate Object Type to Layer)
• Import only Section (see Import only Section)
• Simplify Geometry (see manual "Introduction to CadnaA")
• Transformation (see Coordinate Transformation)
• Unknown Attributes to Memo-Variable (see Unknown Attributes to Memo-Variable)
