Providing existing and proposed site model elevations

[Rebecca R]

Hi all, can anyone advise on what would be the best tool/method/workflow for providing existing and proposed site model elevations (together) ultimately to be displayed on a Top/Plan viewport on a sheet layer.  Many thanks in advance!

Hello,
There is the "terrain section" command (I don't know its name in the US versions), it generates a profile with the existing and the proposed.
A very basic command that it would be nice to update as already requested several times in the WishLists, but hey it's a base to work on.

Hi @Nico_be, thank you very much for responding.  Yes, the terrain section function is useful, but I'm looking for a means of annotating a top/plan drawing - I've been doing some research and I think perhaps datatags might be the answer but think I might have to build my own... Wish me luck!

I just did this: Use the Stake-tool in mode Set elev to site model and Proposed, and place it on the required place in your drawing. And use a class for your Proposed Stake/Elevation objects. Make another class for Existing and place new stakes at the same point (or copy/paste the proposed ones) and change it to read from Existing in OIP. Then you can have different graphic attributes on your classes, or font styles for Proposed and Existing to separate the two settings. For example like below where blue are Proposed and beige/brown are Existing

Hi @kwik, great to have a visual example like this, thanks.  I'll have a go with data tags as I'd like to be able to do it all with one click, but if it doesn't work, I'll do something like you suggest for sure.
