File Request

Sijia, could network standard also contain a .shp file of the network with only the a and b nodes? I can't use the SSids to make true shapes in cube (and cube only takes a .shp file) so I'm using the a/b nodes from November, but those obviously aren't being updated. It'd be good to know that the shape I'm using is consistent with whatever the latest base network is.

As an aside, is there a process for updating geometries for when new links are added? Or will all projects involving new links just be straight lines?

Shape file with A and B nodes: Yes, will update that.

Shapes for new links: Lasso does not do this, as CUBE log file does not pass along geometries. Maybe shapes will be created and added to geojson by Network Wrangler, and I would guess they will be straight lines. cc: @e-lo

We don't have a way in our current MetCouncil workflow to add links using true shapes because Cube doesn't support it and that is our method for adding the links.

Ok. Just wanted to clarify.

@jhelsel11

Added latest link shapefile with only A/B nodes to the oneDrive file.

@i-am-sijia, I'll add this to the network_standard branch, but would you please add it there whenever you update the network_standard?

[jhelsel11]

@i-am-sijia, I'm actually not sure how to upload the file since the zip is >100MB. Do you have the LFS? Does the whole repo?

[i-am-sijia]

@jhelsel11, Yes, I have LFS and so does the repo. I'll upload the shapefile to network standard.

@jhelsel11 I take it back, I think it's better to store the .shp file with CUBE fixed width files, as they are all for CUBE consumption. Do you have a location where you store the fixed width files?

[jhelsel11]

My understanding of the work flow is that I will make the fixed width files from the network_standard json using lasso. So, I think it would make the most sense if all of your outputs (network_standard, shapes, etc) go into a single place that I can pull as a single update. Then the fixed width formats get written out by my (Rachel's) machine as part of my process.

And then we know that the shape was updated at the same time as network_standard. Does that work for you?

Maybe we should chat on the phone?
