esatel Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 Hi all,I have some techniques I would like to apply to the boundary nodes/vertices of my mesh map to regularize curvature and conform to boundaries better. Ideally, the nodes would then go back into a map file. Is there a published schema for the map file? I've heard of a couple other users who are interested but none of us can find it (hint to Aquaveo). Obviously huge chunks of the file are pretty obvious, and I think I could extract and replace the topology and elevations ignoring mystery bits, but I'd like to have more confidence.If there is such a schema, I would gladly create a python class that represents the information and add round trip parsing and writing to sms. Or maybe someone has already written something similar?If not, is there a lossless roundtrip coversion I can do between .map and another more standardized format? I have seen references to .map -> dxf/dfg -> shapefile. I know I can also import a shape file ... so we could do what we need based on ArcGIS programming ... but I would welcome an easier way.Thanks,Eli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan K. Zundel Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Eli, Sorry this has taken so long to get a response. There has been some concern that opening the format of the map files could create dependency on that format and make it harder to modify. However, I will make it a priority to get some documentation of the schema.Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
