Landmark and site modeling
I was doing some work on a 3d site model, and in trying to deal with the physics and rocket science involved
in trying to slope a pad in two directions, the thought came to me how much easier and kinder it would be if we
could just use a 3d polygon and give each vertex a Z height, then that became to pad. instant sloped pad!!
Doesn’t that kinda make sense ?
I advised this to someone recently which reduces the steps:
1. Duplicate the layer the Site Model is in for safekeeping the original Existing Site Modifiers (just in case, for reference).
2. Go to a 'Top' view and change the Existing Site Model to be viewed as 3D Contours.
3. Ungroup. These 3D polygons now include the shape of the modified existing terrain.
4. Select them all and use them as the source data for a new Site Model.
Then there'll be no conflict
