  1. I don't understand what that means. I need a "frozen" image of the terrain before grading so that when I do add the grading I have an image of both. As soon as I place a flat region in the slope for the garage, say, that changes all of the terrain contours. Is that what you are describing? Which view are you referring to? Or is "CAD detail from view? a command I can execute?
  2. I have a jurisdiction that wants a site plan that has both the existing terrain contours showing how they lay where my proposed house will sit, as well as a grading plan that shows how the terrain will be altered for the structure. I'm at a lose as to how to achieve this. It seems the answer would be to save the existing terrain contour lines as an image mask or CAD line in a separate layer to be turned off and on. But I don't see a way to do either. Any ideas?
  3. I'm looking for a process to import latitude, longitude and elevation data from Google Earth Pro as a cvs text file as explained in the how-to articles. I really just need to see the formatting of such a file, which I understand is usually generated from a GPS. Placing elevation points in CA asks for x/y coordinates but I don't know how to correlate that to longitude/latitude.
