We have to touch the curves, one by one, enabling properties and assigning the corresponding elevation. Select all the polylines that we hope to work.Select multiple choice, with the M letter and then press enter.
Happens that some polylines could not be connected because the command was interrupted, or we made some vertexes so fast, that they do not behave well with the curve. This process is not always necessary but, for educational purposes let see how it is done.
The LWT button must be enabled to see the thickness of lines. It is preferable to work with thickness of 0.30 for lines in order to display the progress. It is recommended to create levels with the names of the principal curves. Smartlines should not be used for this task, but normal polylines. In this case I’ll do it manually, drawing polylines. In the previous post we had georeferenced an image that contains contours now we want to turn it to Civil 3D contours.įor this there are programs that virtually automate the process like AutoDesk Raster Design, equivalent to Bentleys Descartes or ESRI’s Arcscan.
