auto cad & 3d Loci

[colly 0]

Hi folks, i'm not a huge user of vectorworks and up to now have only used it on small progects for vizualization. I've got a larger project just in and when i import the AutoCad file there are alot of 3d loci. My question is, can i use these to create a layout of the site using Vectorworks Fundamentals. and if so how? also the file created after import is huuumungus!

Hi Colly,

I don't believe it's possible in Fundamentals to create a DTM.

You could possibly create a series of 3d polygons and use the Create Contours tool to extract contours but this seems like a very tedious method.

Colly would be better off Trading Up to Architect. Then he could easily do his DTM and many other things as well.

what about the designer edition, would it do it also?

Yes, the design edition contains all the modules including Architect.
