tsdesign Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hello all New here to Vectorworks 2008 Landmark Wondering if you can scan a contour map and trace it into a 2D polygon to work in VW2008 thanks alot tsdesign MBP OSX Quote Link to comment
Stan Rostas Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Vectorworks has a trace bitmap menu command that might achieve close to what you are looking to achieve. You will still have to clean up the resultant poly's if the scan is not very clear. Quote Link to comment
gmm18 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 If the contour map is a PDF that was originally drawn in a vector-based program, then you can Import it to Adobe Illustrator, then save as a .dwg, then import into VW. A few steps, but gets you there quick and without having to use the trace bitmap thing. Quote Link to comment
