Michal Zarzecki 39 Posted January 27, 2020 Hi All. Can you suggest a quick way to convert 2D topo from surveyor to Site model in 2020? There are only 2D spot levels (no Z-value) with no countours in the file. In 2019 we used to run a script recommended by someone clever on line, but it doesn't seem to work any longer in 2020 :/. Any thoughts? Quote Share this post Link to post
bgoff 147 Posted January 27, 2020 Set a stake on Known points and set elevation value to match. Make sure the stake is set to "Use as site data". Quote Share this post Link to post
Pat Stanford 1,433 Posted January 27, 2020 Post the script you have and a small sample file with about 10 of the spot elevation objects and perhaps we can make it work. A script to take the value of a text object and create 3D loci using the text as the Z-value sounds familiar, but I can't find it in my archive right now. Quote Share this post Link to post
bgoff 147 Posted January 27, 2020 I have one like that. I will try to find it and post! Quote Share this post Link to post
Pat Stanford 1,433 Posted January 31, 2020 Are the Objects just Text? Is the insertion point of the text block the exact point of the elevation? Can you isolate these objects by Layer or Class? Please copy and paste about 10 of these spot elevations into a blank file and post it here so we have something to work with. Quote Share this post Link to post
Michal Zarzecki 39 Posted January 31, 2020 @Pat Stanford, Thanks for your time. Have a look at the attached file. Attached is also the script which I found and was working in 2019. I hope these will tell you something. levels test.vwx 2D Loci to 3D Loci.txt Quote Share this post Link to post
KWABA 0 Posted April 6, 2020 Hi, are you able to post the script / file that works with 2020? It sounds like a massive time saver Quote Share this post Link to post
Michal Zarzecki 39 Posted April 6, 2020 @KWABA , I don't unfortunately. I was hoping with this thread that I could get help from someone who can do programming and scripts. Watch this space - maybe one day. Quote Share this post Link to post
