is there an easier way to create this????

the process im doing is very time consuming.

NOTE:

white polylines have elevations

the brown ones is the road (which i need to draw using lines)

create POINT and snap it to the white polylines to get elevation of the first point

and i create another POINT and snap it to the closest white polyline, to get the next point

then i create LINE, snap it on the 2 POINTS with elevation and DIV aand just make assumptions on how many point i will use

then i off snap. then i move every point to the brown polylines then after that i delete the temporary line i use to DIV the points

then i draw LINES again and snap it to the points i moved on the brown polylines to get the start and end Z...

i will add the map im doing to make it easier to understand...

is there an easier way to create the roads????

or am i on the wrong forum?

i tried deleting some part to fit o upload sorry

road (2).dwg

This is a continoulsy repeated question. Some else asked the same question last month. If you dont have access to Civ3d etc then search for free civil contour & road design software, Cadtools, ezysurf I forget the others. Its worth emailing to someone and paying it takes only minutes to do.

autocad CIVIL 3d can i use that??? ill try to download it, thanks mister

I noticed the braun lines (road) is created with a 2d polyline. That's just on z=0.

The vertexes need to have a z, you can do that with 3d polylines.

Extrude the road to intersect with the landscape. etc.

You might as well take a look at the triangulate function.

Get familiar with meshes and modelling solids .;-)

Civil3D has great functions for road design
