Hi,
I have a dwg file from a surveyor. It has a lot of layers, - but two of them are contours made from 3D POLYLINES.
If I import the dwg, the polylines come in flat - unless I force import to >Convert Objects To "ALL 3D".
That now brings in a set of polygons with thousands of vertices (100,000+). While I can create a terrain from this, it's dense and very slow to then manipulate. I was thinking, I should be converting the polygons to 3D Stakes or Loci (not sure which). But first, I'm guessing I should simplify down my vertices??
Anyway - I'm stuck on what the correct steps should be.
In sketchup, I import the polylines. Simplify them (simplify contours) and then create a terrain.
What's the VW way?
Thanks in advance.
