Topographic map so to speek
Topographic map so to speek
(OP)
Is there a way to make a dimensional drawing that would resemble something like a topographic map from a surface object in solidworks? I have created a part using lofted surface and have no way to make a drawing showing dims.

Or don't do all the dimensioning garbage and enjoy the power of 3D. I create such surfaces in my parts all the time and wouldn't think of doing all that--the part file (or exported IGES or whatever) has all the curve detail necessary to make tooling or anything else you need. No point in reverting to 2D for something only accurately described in 3D.

Not pretty, but it should work if the part isn't too complex.
