WaterCAD users can also use CAD drawings to directly create hydraulically connected models import topology and data from GIS and create persistent, bidirectional connections between shapefiles, data- bases, spreadsheets and the WaterCAD model. > The LoadBuilder > and TRex > ٙ geospatial modulesincluded with WaterCAD at no additional costחhelp engineers allocate water demands and node elevations based on geospatial data found in shapefiles, DEMs, and even CAD drawings, avoiding potential manual-input mistakes and speeding up the model building process. AutoCAD users can also add AutoCAD integration features to build and lay out models with engineering precision within an environment they are already comfortable with. The MicroStation interface, included at no additional cost with all WaterCAD versions, provides a geospatial and engineering design environment with unrivaled visualization and publishing tools. The stand-alone interface offers unparalleled versatility with easy-to-use model layout tools, multiple back-ground support, conversion utilities from CAD, GIS, and databases, and unlimited undo and redo layout. Regardless of the platform used, WaterCAD maintains a single set of modeling files for true interoperability across platforms.
