Upon installation of the Scenario 360 software, a new directory will be created in your C:\ drive called CVFiles. You can change this during installation but it is recommended that you accept the default location. If you should choose a separate directory, make sure the new location allows you full read/write privileges and that there is plenty of disk space to hold large feature data sets and 3D scene data. The Scenario 360 folder structure is described below:
C:
CVFiles When
creating a new analysis, you will be prompted to create the analysis in
this default directory. You
may choose to override this default - if so, make sure the new location
allows you full read/write privileges and that there is plenty of disk
space to hold large feature data sets and 3D scene data.
Templates When
saving templates, you will be prompted to save them in this default directory.
[Analysis Name]
This folder is created when you create a new analysis. The
name is the name you chose when you created your analysis.
CVAnalysis.gdb
This folder contains the file geodatabase
being used for your analysis. It
contains dynamic layers. This
folder may not exist if your analysis is not in file geodatabase format.
CVAnalysis.mxd
This ArcGIS map document records layer symbology, map layout, window states,
and VBA customization.
CVAnalysis.mdb
This ArcGIS geodatabase An object-oriented geographic database that provides services for managing
geographic data. These services include validation rules, relationships,
and topological associations. A geodatabase contains feature datasets
and is hosted inside of a relational database management system. (See
also: personal geodatabase).
contains all feature data for dynamic layers if your analysis is in personal
geodatabast format.
CVAnalysisInfo.xml
This XML file contains definitions for all Scenario 360 analysis items
such as assumptions, indicators, alerts, and charts. Formulas
are also stored in this file.
The three key files above are part of the automatic analysis backup system.
~Backup
This folder contains the last saved copy of your analysis.
3D
This folder contains 3D
data associated with the analysis. It
is the default location for storing SiteBuilder 3D terrain, drape, and
3D legend files.
It is NOT part of
the analysis backup system, and therefore will not impact the performance
of analysis load and save.
Data
This folder is provided as a container for additional (non-dynamic)
feature data included in the analysis.
Placing reference data in this
folder enables more convenient transportation of your analyses to other
workstations and users.
During CommunityViz
1 scenario import, all non-automated data that was contained in the
scenario folder as well as any reference data sets you choose to transfer
are copied to this location.
Compare
Images This folder is provided as a default storage location for
images to be used in the scenario
comparison view. You
can browse to select images stored in other locations, but placing images
in this folder enables more convenient transportation of analyses to other
workstations and users. This
folder is NOT part of the analysis backup system, and therefore will not
impact the performance of analysis load and save.
Screen captures
from SiteBuilder 3D (using shortcut F11) will be stored to this location
by default.
Reports
This folder contains saved reports for the analysis.
Each subfolder will
contain a different report.
This folder is NOT
part of the analysis backup system, and therefore will not impact the
performance of analysis load and save.
[Detailed
Analysis Report Name] The name of this folder is the same as the
name you specified when creating your report.
Images
This folder contains images of charts and maps that you selected to include
in your report. The folder also contains copies of any other images you
may have pulled into the report (such as a photo or a screen capture of
a 3D scene). You
can import these images
into PowerPoint presentations, word documents, etc.
Resources
This folder contains all supporting HTML files, CSS files, etc. for your
report.
[My
Scenario Comparison Report] Double-click this file to open your
report. The
report name is the same name you specified when creating the report.
[Summary
Report Name] This type of report records summary information about
the analysis. The
folder name is the same as the name you specified when creating your report.
File
Dependency Report Double-click this file to open a report detailing
information about all files that must be transferred to move this analysis
to another workstation or share it with another user.
CV1
Import Report.txt If the analysis was created from an imported
CommunityViz 1 scenario, this file appears. It
details any layers that need to be added manually, or formulas that need
to be repaired
WebShots
This folder is the default location for WebShots outputs. Within
the folder are subfolders for each version of WebShots you created.
index.htm launches the WebShots in your browser and includes a “loading” page so that WebShots perform more smoothly once they are loaded.
WebShots.htm launches the application directly without pre-loading.
AnalysisName.kmz
This is the default name and location for Google Earth-readable files
in KMZ format.
