Have been trying to import a plot plan and wanted to see if the team had some best practices.
Background
Have a plot plan in dwg format with a variety of layers
perimeter was disconnected, and not a closed polygon
contour lines exist and elevation points
labels exist of elevation height of points and contour lines
Actions taken in Autocad
Created closed polygon for terain perimeter
Action in Chief Architect
Imported dwg and mapped layer containing perimeter and contour lines respectively
Terrain Perimeter looks pretty good
Questions?
What is the best way to associate the actual elevation data to the contour lines? Right now when I look at the lines in Autocad it appears they are at a z-depth of 0.
Is there a way to associate this data so it comes across on import?
Or should I just enter the data manually in Chief Architect
Also it appears that Chief Arch needs at least 2 lines and then uses this as ref for building the terrain (i.e. most of the elevation data is around 1455 ft)
Is this the right approach or should I be doing something different to import this data?
