Elevations
Use Points or Blocks selected in the drawing or built from Elevation service providers in any selected area. You can also use already generated terrain as source 3D geometry.
Get elevation 3D Points, create Contours or Terrain 3D models
Spatial Manager™ for ZWCAD includes the ‘SPMTERRAIN’ command that allows you to create Terrains and other related entities. Three options are available when this command is executed:
- 1 Elevations, which is a shortcut to get 3D Points on your drawing from Internet elevation providers in any Earth area (Data sources).
- 2 Contours, which is a shortcut to create 2D or 3D Contours in your drawing from 3D Points, Block References or Terrains. You can review the Contour options.
- 3 Terrain Wizard, which allows you to access the Terrain wizard in order to run one or more Terrain chained processes (obtain elevation 3D Points, and/or create Contours, and/or create Terrain 3D models, and/or project any Raster Image or Background Map to Terrains).
As you can see in the following image, these options are found on any application interface component ready to run separately.
