Extras for Site Components

Now that you have entered all that data regarding your site components; wouldn't be nice to see it displayed somewhere? When you fill in the HTML Description and the customized site components attributes you'll be able to export your scheme to Google Earth and click on a component to see a Pop-up Bubble.

example of pop-up in Google Earth

  • Help for HTML Coding: Every HTML Description is filled in with a sample piece of code to help you make your own custom pop-ups for your Site Components in Google Earth.
  • Sample Code: <img src="http://www.onuma.com/plan/logo/opslogo_sm.png" width="50" height="50" /><br /><br />
    <b><big><font face="Arial" size="5">[Name]</font></big></b>
    <hr width="100%" color="#000000" size="1" />
  • This above code generates this pop-up in Google Earth:

  • Understanding the HTML Code:
    • The first line in the bubble "Intersection Point" is the Name of the Site Component, you may change the name, but this will ALWAYS be the first thing in the bubble you can not edit it out.
    • The picture in the bubble is from the first line of custom HTML Description: <img src="http://www.onuma.com/plan/logo/opslogo_sm.png" width="50" height="50" />
    • To Add your own picture:
      • First make sure the image file is online, this is as easy as uploading the image as an attachment to your scheme
      • Next open that image online and right click to view the images Properties
      • Use the Location to copy and paste the image source code (img src) into the HTML Description right between the quotation marks
      • Next use the Image Dimensions to insert the width and height of your image in pixels (px) exchange the "50" for your new "number"
    • The next piece of code is: <br /> This piece of code is like hitting enter when you are typing, basically go back and right; the more you enter the more space you'll have before the next line starts
    • Next Line of code creates the text <b><big><font face="Arial" size="5">[Name]</font></big></b> This is regarding your font. The piece [name] is referring to what is going to be in that font, in this case it is the name of the object.
    • The last line of code creates the black line that you see: <hr width="100%" color="#000000" size="1" />
  • Other helpful info:
    • To make a paragraph, start with: <p> then type, then end with: </p>
    • Tying it all together: After creating your custom site components attributes headers, and updating and importing your site components attributes csv file, this data can then be used to populate areas in the google earth pop-up bubble.
      • If you title your first header: Date
      • Then you exported your site components attrubutes csv file and under that header entered: May 2nd
      • Now, in the HTML section you can add <p>[Date]</p>
      • That would then show in the pop up bubble in Google Earth: May 2nd
    • If you know more HTML coding you can always get more sophisticated, enjoy!

Q. I have added "Parking" site components for existing parking lots on a site. I want to get the area of them. Is there a way to list the area of a defined "Parking" site component? [AH - 1/10/11]

A. No, but for a work around you could place a building over the lot to obtain the area. [AH - 1/10/11]
