Jose798756 Posted January 14, 2022 Share Posted January 14, 2022 Is there a way to create a site model with spot elevations taken from a survey. I have the cad file with all the spot elevations and i was hoping i could bring those numbers into vector works and have a model made out of it Quote Link to comment
shorter Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Reimport the DWG as 3D and see if there are any 3D points or symbols in the file. Sometimes there are 3D symbols which you can drop in a 3D locus and then explode the symbol to get a set of 3D points from which to create a site model. failing that send me a vw file with the levels isolated. I have a script to convert the levels to a ‘survey points file’ as per @E|FA response above. Quote Link to comment
Tom W. Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Alternatively see this thread for a script which will convert text blocks (2D elevation info) into 3D loci (from which you can then create a site model): I have never used it but having previously very laboriously manually converted an old 2D topo survey into 3D thought it sounded very useful so kept a note of it... Luckily all subsequent surveys have come as 3D point files. Quote Link to comment
