    Making a Road Through Contour Lines

    cvg, Thank you for the reply. I figured I might have to invest in some extra software. After checking out the autodesk website, looks like LDD will suffice. Cheers.

    Mine Dewatering

    Excellent, thank you for the help. I am having Grindex come check out the project today for a professional opinion. I was really after some background information so I would be more useful when they arrive and also so I am ready for curve balls if they throw them at me. :) Cheers and thanks...
