InRoads - Surfaces
(OP)
How do you save a surface so you can modfy it??
How can you view the points already loaded in for a contour surface??
Thank you for the help.

RE: InRoads - Surfaces
Lateron you can open the surface (File>open & select file type as DTM) and modify it.
To view the surface points, just use Surface>View Surface>Features. It will bring a dialog box to select which points you want to view.
Hope it helps.
RE: InRoads - Surfaces
I need helpful hints with the 3-D issue. Once the surface is loaded what is the steps for getting a 3-D model? Can it be accomplished with the DTM file??
Thank you.
RE: InRoads - Surfaces
Once you load DTM file, you can display the triangles into your Microstation or autocad file by using Surface>View Surface>Triangles.
Once the triangles have written to your CAD file, you can render the triangles using standard 3-d display routines of the Cad software.
Its simple and looks good on screen, provided the data loaded is correct.
RE: InRoads - Surfaces
For a volume calc, what would be the most accurate way (or preferred) for determining volume between two surfaces.
One of my surfaces has less points then the other - I want to use the most effective / useful process for the vol calc.
Thanks-
