CUBIZEN: Global Mapper, CityEngine & Creative Tech

Link external spreadsheet data to spatial features by matching shared attributes. This tutorial demonstrates how to perform a table join in Global Mapper. You will learn how to connect an external CSV file containing descriptive data to a point vector layer using a common identifier, allowing for efficient attribute management and expansion of your GIS datasets. Today, we will explore a function that is essential for any GIS program: joining a CSV file to a vector layer (points, lines, or areas). Step-by-Step CSV Attribute Join Workflow Open your previous file and download the CSV file below. Attachment: table.zip (Verified and safe file for Global Mapper.) img 1 : Contents of the sample CSV file showing 'name' and 'value' columns The file above is quite simple, containing 'name' and 'value' columns. Since we have six points, I've created six reco...

Automate Point Layer data management by performing arithmetic operations and complex formula-based attribute calculations. This tutorial explores the "Calculate/Copy Attribute Value(s)..." feature in Global Mapper. You will learn to add new attributes, duplicate existing data, and leverage the formula engine to streamline data preparation for 3D GIS and urban simulations. How to Use Calculate/Copy Attribute Value(s) The following four items are what differentiate point layers from elevation or raster layers, and they are commonly used in all vector-attribute layers: img 1 : Point Layer's Context Menus Calculate/Copy Attribute Value(s)... JOIN - Join Attribute Table/File to Layer Create Label Layer... SPLIT - Split Into Separate Layers Based on Attribute Value... Open the file from our last session and activate the point layer. img 2 : Control Center window showing the Poi...
