For more knowledge and to get certified in 12d Model, study with the Civil and Surveying Institute, an authorised 12d training provider: 👉 https://www.civilandsurveying.com/ 🎓 Recommended Training: 👉 https://www.civilandsurveying.com/spo... ✔ Cost-effective learning ✔ Includes 12d Model Student Licence ✔ Study at your own schedule (self-paced online training) Welcome to this 12d Model 15 MetaConnex Workflow (New Zealand) deep dive. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to efficiently manage Code of Practice (CoP) data, asset attributes, validation, and automated plan generation within 12d Model. This session walks through the end-to-end MetaConnex workflow, helping surveyors and engineers streamline Three Waters (stormwater, wastewater, potable water) data for council submission. 🔍 What You’ll Learn: • Understanding MetaConnex (NZ) workflow inside 12d Model 15 • How Code of Practice (XD files) define asset classes and business rules • Working with attributes, global project settings, and survey themes • Automating workflows using map files and attribute mapping • Reducing manual entry with field-collected attribute data • Using validation tools to identify missing, invalid, or optional attributes • Applying node-to-node calculations and depth analysis • Generating unique asset IDs automatically (pipes, valves, hydrants) • Exporting and editing attributes via CSV + Excel workflows • Creating fully attributed 3D asset models • Running clash detection between utilities • Automating labelling and annotation for plans • Producing multi-sheet PDF plans directly in 12d Model • Exporting final deliverables for council submission (12d XML) ⚡ Why This Workflow Matters: The MetaConnex process ensures: ✅ Consistent, standardised asset data for councils ✅ Reduced errors with automated validation & logic rules ✅ Faster delivery using attribute automation & macros ✅ Fully compliant 3D as-built models ✅ Seamless transition from survey → design → submission 💡 Key Features Demonstrated: • Smart attribute propagation using global project settings • Automated calculations (depths, pipe connections, offsets) • Efficient bulk editing via CSV workflows • Advanced QA checks & validation reporting • Integrated plan production (no CAD export required) • Intelligent labelling driven by attribute data 🧠 Pro Tips: • Use map files to standardise naming and eliminate manual errors • Validate early and often to avoid rework • Leverage Excel + CSV workflows for faster data entry • Keep everything in 12d Model to retain smart annotation links • Use clash detection tools to identify design conflicts early This workflow is essential for professionals working on New Zealand infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with council standards and MetaConnex requirements. 🔔 Subscribe for more 12d Model tutorials, workflows, and industry insights 👍 Like & share if this helped your workflow #12dModel #MetaConnex #SurveyingNZ #CivilEngineering #ThreeWaters #GIS #Infrastructure #EngineeringWorkflows #12dTutorial #SurveyTech #TechForum
