I am not trying to discourage but you may be reinventing the wheel. Speed Optimization mainly in Contour March 2014 Added c:flbl, Alan J Thompson October 2013 C:XSHAPE, (Chi-shape) Generates a concave boundary around triangulation C:PROF, Generates a Longitudinal Profile. C:DLBL, Generates Label Dynamically (Based on Alan JT routine) C:FLBL, Generates Label on All Contours along Fence Lines. C:LBL, Generates Label on Major Contour at regular spacing.

C:DEMOZ, Demo of locating yourself in a triangulation. C:GEN, Generates a bunch of points for testing. C:CONT, Generates Contours from a sset of 3DFACES. C:TIN, Generates Delaunay Triangulation and Voronoi Diagram. in 3D and use this for your foundation/foundation wall sections.Īmmobake, thank you for useful suggestions!ĭoing a section of a TIN has been around since the 80's, there are a number of free TIN modelling tools out there some do sections and cross sections. You could then draw in your foundation, foundation walls, etc.

There used to be a way to import terrain data from google earth with the surface photo overlayed as a material.īut don't know what ever happened to that (used to be free). One could also incorporate a basic UI and upload this as a standalone app in the autodesk app store. Because you could pretty easily get the volume of fill material for different applications. So there are sometimes manual error corrections you have to do on the mesh just because of how autocad renders the surface.īut if you have a good mesh that has relatively decent detail this might be a good option for Autocad users.Īlso gives you really good idea of material needed for your cut/fill (i guess in this case for like a foundation wall or driveway). But the terrain can sometimes be obnoxious and not as simple as importing survey data. In terms of terrain modeling for civil projects, Civil3d has built in features to do all of this.
