Skubacb Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Hello, Going nuts. Have my terrain perimeter drawn as per online instructions. (GA9) But when I go to Convert Polyline there is only one option - Spline. I cannot find anyway to have any other dialog show up. Been trying to get this looking on line etc for the last 4 hours. Would appreciate any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 If this tool Is not working you likely do not have a closed polyline. You can also create an auto terrain perimeter with two clicks, Terrain> Create Terrain Perimeter and then edit it to what you want. Or post your plan file and Eric will help you out.

Skubacb Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok, obviously new at this. The polyline stuff is in the layer CAD Detail, Elevation Data or Plot Perimeter. BTW not working on any of the layers. Edit: it is closed. Thank you. 5 - Garage Level add Plot.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yup that is your problem you will not have a terrain perimeter in cad detail. You can draw a polyline and call it a property line but if you want a 3D terrain perimeter it will have to be in plan view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 To expand on what Chopsaw said...Your problem is that you are trying to convert your polyline in a CAD detail. A CAD detail cannot contain anything other than CAD work so there's nothing to convert the polyline TO. In order to get the tool you're looking for you'll need to first cut or copy and paste that polyline into a normal plan view.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubacb Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 I finally tried something. I started a new plan. Lo and behold the convert polyline tool works properly. Some how I have turned it off but have no idea how or where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubacb Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok, I understand. In a Chief video I followed what they said to do. With all the work drawing the plot layout with the county data and drawing in the elevation lines. I just don't know where to go from here to save and use the data. Edit: Will try the cut copy paste.

Just copy and paste back into the plan and then rotate into position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skubacb Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 Ok, thank you. All this time I thought I had done something wrong. Will have to look at that Chief video again to see what I did wrong. But very happy to be moving forward again. Boy is there a bunch of learning to do with this program!!!
