Introduction
- Objective of this section
- To learn how to get 3D Points from elevation services, create 2D or 3D Contours and create Terrain 3D models
- Topics in this section
- Obtain elevation 3D Points in the drawing from elevation services for any earth area
- Create 2D or 3D Contours from 3D Points
- Set Contour options such as density, colors, layers, labels, etc.
- Create Terrains models from 3D Points and select object type for new Terrains (AutoCAD 2010 and upper)
- Configure any 'Background Map' and related options to project and fit it on one or more Terrains (AutoCAD 2012 and upper)
Note: Some components in the images on this page (providers, names, windows look, etc.) may be slightly different from those that will appear on your computer
How can I get elevation 3D Points, create Contours or Terrain 3D models?
Spatial Manager™ for AutoCAD includes the 'SPMTERRAIN' command that allows you to create Terrains and other related objects. There are available 3 options when you execute this command:
- 1 Elevations, which is a shortcut to get 3D Points in your drawing from Internet elevation providers in any earth area
- 2 Contour, which is a shortcut to create 2D or 3D Contours in your drawing from 3D Points. Below you can review available options for this function
- 3 Terrain Wizard, which allow you access to the Terrain wizard in order to run one or more chained Terrain processes (Get elevation 3D Points, and/or create Contours, and/or create Terrain 3D models, and/or project any 'Background Map' to Terrains)
