Building Geoplugin missing "roads", "intersection" and "bridge" functions

Joris Smits (Sweco)

I'm creating our own Geoplugin to make it easier to import DxF files by matching functions to certain layers, so I can use the DxF Reference as a "coloringbook". Only when some of the functions are missing: roads, intersections and bridge.

When I look at the DxF demo and try to select a function the functions are available to select:

But when I try the same in my own project the functions aren't available:

It seems I can't add pictures to the discussion.

Hi Joris,

A Geoplugin can be used for 2 goals: creating a default method for importing your own plans (such as from a DXF), or defining an additional datasource to be used during project creation.

In the project creation phase, there are actually 2 distinct geoplugin types to ensure proper ordering and connectivity: BUILDINGS and ROADS. To prevent road data being loaded in during the building step, the categories related to roads are not available when creating a BUILDINGS geoplugin for project creation.

In your case, you are creating a geoplugin which is only used "manually" for loading in your own plans. Select the geoplugin, and uncheck the "use for project creation" checkbox in the right panel to indicate that the geoplugin is only for manual use importing your own data. With this box unchecked, you are allowed to also select road- and road-related categories in your geoplugin.

Regards!
