    Yes, gpx is supported but maybe your format is newer than Chief can read?  Or maybe it doesn't have any way points?

     

    Here is a tech article that might help:

    https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-00719/importing-terrain-elevation-data-from-a-dwg-or-dxf-file.html

     

    It has this info about gpx files:

     

    GPS data in a .gpx file format can also be imported by selecting File> Import> Import GPS Data ImportGPS.png?1709065706.GPS data may include three types of points - Way, Track and Route. Chief Architect can only import a .gpx file if it includes one or more Way Points. If a *.gpx file is imported and it contains no Way Points, no data will be imported. Route Points contained in a .gpx file will not be recognized upon importing.

     

    Thanks I didn't realize Chief will only recognize waypoints.  It looks like the gpx file exported as track points in SWMaps. Is there a way to convert my track points to way points since it appears Chief only supports waypoints?

    I started getting the attached message for a while it was working and unfortunately didn't catch what started the cause of this to undo. 

    All of my walls should be icf but there are a bunch of retaining walls. I tried changing from regions to lines but that did not fix and the slope wasn't reflective.

    I tried to remove all elevation regions but the same message. Any idea what could be causing. I also am wondering if there is a way to slim the file down in size. It is about 14 mb which I don't know if that is a big file?

    Can this be a railing object?  (1st time trying this so someone more experienced could chime in if any possible limitations).

     

    I created a custom angled library baluster.

    Result seems pretty good.
