ModelBuilder lets you use your existing GIS asset to construct a new WaterCAD CONNECT model or update an existing WaterCAD CONNECT model. ModelBuilder supports a wide variety of data formats, from simple databases (such as Access and DBase), spreadsheets (such as Excel), GIS data (such as shape files), Bentley Map data, to high end data stores (such as Oracle, and SQL Server), and more.

Using ModelBuilder, you map the tables and fields contained within your data source to element types and attributes in your WaterCAD CONNECT model. The result is that a WaterCAD CONNECT model is created. ModelBuilder can be used in any of the WaterCAD CONNECT platforms - Stand-Alone, MicroStation mode, AutoCAD mode, or ArcGIS mode.

ModelBuilder is the first tool you will use when constructing a model from GIS data. The steps that you take at the outset will impact how the rest of the process goes. Take the time now to ensure that this process goes as smoothly and efficiently as possible:
