Line 8: The InfoWorks data formats are native and therefore do require access to InfoWorks in order to convert the data. Note, that the following steps can be undertaken with a InfoWorks ICM Viewer licence and a full licence is not currently required. Although the InfoWorks ICM data formats are proprietry, it is relatively easy to use the Open Data Export Centre within InfoWorks ICM to export the model geometry data to open GIS layer formats (both shapefile and MIF/MID format). The following steps will outline exporting to shapefiles but similar can be undertaken for MIF/MID. To open the Open Data Export Centre in InfoWorks ICM, open your network in the geoplan, select the relevant scenario, and go to '''Network->Export->Using Open ~~Date~~Data Export Centre'''. You’ll be presented with the following dialog which allows you to export the InfoWorks network data to a variety of formats. [[File:ODEC.png\|400px]] The data in InfoWorks ICM is stored in a number of database tables for each network type (~~eg,~~e.g. a separate table for nodes, conduits, 2D zones etc…). ==Quick Export of Geometry Data== To get a full export of all the model files, with InfoWorks file formats, open the network and go to '''Network->Export->to Shape Files''', select the save location and the InfoWorks tables that you're interested in. Once exported the shape files can be opened in GIS to view the network table geometry and parameters. Once the data is exported, it's possible to ~~sue~~use the QGIS TUFLOW Plugin 'Insert TUFLOW Attributes to Existing GIS Layer' and then map across the field values from InfoWorks to TUFLOW with conversion as required. A Ruby script is also available which will export export all data via the Open Data Export Centre without the need for the user to export each table individually. The data can use a config file to undertake some of the mapping of field values and some conversion.
