jadoidge Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I have received a topographic site survey drawing (2D DWG), showing the contour lines and their associated elevations. I would like to show a cross section of this profile however under line properties it will not let me set and elevation for the individual lines it returns to zero. Any ideas? Or is there a better way to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'm not understanding completely. Are you trying to take the 2D contours of the site plan and create a 3D elevation from them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadoidge Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Yes I thought if i added the line levels to the line elevation properties, I would be able to rotate the drawing and view from the side. Given that the drawing has only side to side contour lines I was hoping this would provide a ground level profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
