McWaters12 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I have my contour lines and they are each set at their proper elevations. I want to know how to get a surface to 'mold' to the lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyke Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'll give you something McWaters12, you are persistent :wink: Do you have Civil 3D? If you do first explode your polylines so that they become Lines Then create a new Surface. Go to the Prospector tab of the Toolspace. Open up the Surfaces. Open up Definition . Right click Drawing Object. Click Add. In the Drop Down List Objects select Lines. Select all your lines on screen. Click OK. On the Settings Tab open up Surface. Open up Surface Styles. If you have not created your own style then right click Standard and select Edit. Go to the Display Tab and make visible what you want to see. Other properties can be set in the various tabs. I would not recommend editing ANY Standard Style, but first of all right clicking the Standard style and selecting Copy -give it your own name and then edit that style. Post your drawing and say exactly what you want to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Have you tried doing a search? Seems like a similar question came up a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
