WMS:What's new in WMS version 11.0

The WMS software development team is excited about the release of WMS 10.1! This page lists the exciting new features that have been added to WMS 11.0.

What's new in WMS 11.0

Map Flood Tool

A new Map Flood tool was added to automatically offset 100-year floodplain maps to analyze extreme flood scenarios. This option can be used to define a vertical offset from a baseline 100-year FEMA floodplain map. This vertical offset is used with readily available web service data to automatically delineate a new floodplain and determine a new, wider floodplain boundary that accounts for this offset. These modified floodplain maps can be used to determine the impacts of extreme weather and flood scenarios on existing and proposed roadways and other structures.

Floodplain Delineation Improvements

The floodplain delineation capabilities in WMS 11.0 have been streamlined and improved. In many cases, the floodplain delineation has been sped up by a factor of 10.

HEC-RAS Cross Section Database Improvements

Better support for managing and editing cross section databases for HEC-RAS modeling has been added. A new dialog that allows WMS users to select, manage, and edit cross sections and cross section databases has been implemented.

Cross Section Database

Support for Reading, Viewing, and Converting LIDAR Data

Improved support for reading, viewing, and converting LIDAR data to other formats to use with your model has been added.

LIDAR Data Example

HEC-RAS and HEC-HMS Updates

LandXML Import/Export
