palarsen Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Very eager to by the 8.5 update. For many good reasons! One question: Does the terrain tool work again? (has had malfunctions since v7) Grouping contours of same hight results in wrong terrain. And a hopelessly long workaround is to elevate every contour to its proper hight. Not so happy to by a broken tool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Hi Petter, Grouped Contours are not yet interpreted together, but moving contours to their correct height should not be much work. Do you not generally receive surveys with the contours at their appropriate heights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palarsen Posted August 27, 2015 Author Share Posted August 27, 2015 Tracing scanned maps. Tracing contours to make lighter data and better terrains. Normally I receive 2D DWG maps. Big 3D maps normally have lots of errors in it, so 2D is often better! Anyway, this is a function that always used to work with the join tool. After you changed it to the group tool, it has newer worked. It looks as if it works, but creates errors in the terrain that can be critical when working with architecture. In a stepped model, you perhaps will notice. But in a Meshed model you just don't see it. And cant fix it. I think this is a long lasting unfixed bug. It needs to be fixed asap. PS: I remember learning FormZ for the first time in Architecture school. This was the first thing we learned, and understood the greatness of using 3D modeling! /Petter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
