Update Spatial Features

This document provides even more information as well as suggestions around importing data to update existing spatial features in the Metrix Asset Management system. It is broken into a number of sub-sections to assist readers in being able to focus on different asset management data contexts separately. These include:

Spatial Definition Fields

The following fields enable users to update existing spatial features, by ‘Shape ID’, using a WKT spatial definition.

Shape WKT
Required

The WKT stands for Well Known Text ↗ which is a method of writing simple geometry features into a standard text string. This field allows users to define such a geometry as the spatial feature representing the component.

  • Header label: shape_wkt
  • A valid spatial feature is a mandatory element of the system.

Shape ID
Required

Set this value to link the unique ‘Shape ID’ that is currently defined in the system.

  • Header label: shape_id
  • The shape ID can be copied from the ‘Spatial’ section of the Component info panel.
