Import Asphalt Intelligence Results into QGIS

Asphalt Intelligence results can be opened in QGIS using the official Asphalt Intelligence QGIS plugin.

Overview

Once analysis results have been downloaded from the Asphalt Intelligence Dashboard, the files can be opened or imported into a variety of GIS and CAD software packages. This workflow focuses on QGIS, an open-source desktop GIS application.
