Slope Analysis?
Slope Analysis?
(OP)
Not sure if this question is posed in the correct area, but I need to know if AutoCAD 2005 had the capibility's of doing a slope analysis and if so, how? Thanks in advance.

RE: Slope Analysis?
OK what's a slope analysis? Identifing areas of a given ground slope/exceeding a certain slope? Assuming it's something like that - that may be possible with an add-on such as Civil 3D, Land Desktop Development, or similar. But you'd need a surface defined, typically with a DTM from ground spot elevations or contours. If you have vanilla Autocad, and surface is shown with contours, I'd say AutoCAD won't be much help. If surface is with 3dfaces, you may have some hope, if you had a lisp that could translate the 3dface vertices to a planar slope.
RE: Slope Analysis?
same with 2005 Civil 3D.
Like Carl said you need some type of surface or contours
to be able to do it on CAD.
There's always the manual way of calculating slopes.
