A little elementary help with exporting to CAD file.....the contours lose their elevation and are all at elevation 0. I have looked over all the settings/options but for some reason cannot get them to export correctly. It must be something simple.
EDIT: Let me take this one step further. When generating site models - after exporting the drawing set out - even the existing contours have 0 elevation.....I can see this being a huge issue on large sites when I need to send the surveyor a site plan for layout purposes during construction.
Also - can you assign elevation to polylines? Reason I ask is when we generate site models (in my limited experience) the contours are choppy and not smooth. I like to draw nice pretty polylines as a finished product. We also work in 2D - but like to provide 3D info on contours.
