Creating surface from topographic data
Hrm, that didn't work for me with the last model I tried it with. I must have done something different with the splines that the surface didn't like. Thanks for the help. P.S. -- Is there any issue with having several dozen datum planes in a single part file? Is there a more efficient way of...- ereisch

Creating surface from topographic data
Here is some of the file (the finished product will have about twice as many contour lines). It is not a contour of a fully-closed hill; the contour lines terminate at the end of the area of interest. I want to create a surface that interpolates (evenly or preferably via a spline algorithm)...- ereisch

Creating surface from topographic data
Ok, I believe I got the scale to work, but now it's refusing to mesh the curve. Perhaps this is ignorance on how to use the studio surface or "Through Curve Mesh" features, but I have a series of contour lines, each in their own plane (of elevation). However, NX is not letting me mesh a solid...- ereisch

Creating surface from topographic data
I'm trying to design a structure around a certain terrain feature, so I have a need to have an accurate depiction of the surrounding area into NX (preferably as a surface). However, I'm having difficulty trying to get the data I have into NX in the proper scaling format. I have a PDF (though I...- ereisch
