InfoSWMM to InfoSewer Workflow - Only for Client Emergencies

 🖥️🌊 InfoSWMM vs 🖥️🚽 InfoSewer:

Both are software powerhouses for modeling stormwater and wastewater infrastructure. But, they're like apples 🍎 and oranges 🍊 - similar, but not the same! You can't just drag and drop InfoSWMM data into InfoSewer. One hiccup? InfoSWMM loves its depth offsets, while InfoSewer might give you a 🤨 look.

🔧 Workaround Guide:

  1. Export to SWMM5: Convert your InfoSWMM project to the universally loved SWMM5 format.
  2. Re-Import to InfoSWMM: With your shiny SWMM5 format in hand, bring it back to InfoSWMM. But remember, keep it simple! Import as a "base scenario" only. No bells and whistles 🎶.
  3. Tweak Preferences: Inside InfoSWMM, swap to link elevation offsets and node rim elevation. Now, you're speaking InfoSewer's language 🗣️.
  4. Shapefile Export: Send your project to a shapefile 🌐 - the common tongue of GIS.
  5. InfoSewer's Turn: Bring that shapefile into InfoSewer. Voila! 🎉

Remember, this isn't a magic wand 🪄. It's more like a translator 🌐. Some nuances might get lost, so keep those detective eyes 👀 open for any post-import tweaks!

Happy modeling! 🖥️🔍📊🚀
