hollister design Studio Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I'm inputting cntl points from a cad file ( autodesk civil 3d export) I got from a client. It was unfortunately 2D points with the elevation called out. So I'm going around and typing in the elevation (101.09, 100.60, 98.64, etc) - it seems like I'm missing something. I have set my document units to digital feet to match the DWG I still find myself having to: click to set a stake- then move my pointer up to the elevation box on the tool bar- click there- type the elevation- then move back to set the next stake- repeat ad infinitum... I tried hitting tab thinking it would give me a (Z) option - but I'm only getting (X),(Y), (L), and (A). What it's the correct, quick, and clean workflow for adding stakes for creating a site model?

Boh Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 If you have the x, y and z values in a list then you shld be able to import the list if it’s formatted correctly to setstakes or 3D locii. Quote Link to comment
