j2narchitecture Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hi. I imported a terrain perimeter with elevation data from a .dwg file. I can't see the terrain in any of my camera views. I checked to make sure that a terrain perimeter was created and that each contour line has an elevation associated with it. It does. Attached is my .plan and the .dwg file I imported. Many thanks in advance for any help. I'm using X10 on my iMac. E18-00044 SITE PLAN.dwg test.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Your terrain is on a layer called BOUNDARY, so make sure that is toggled on in the camera view. Open the Terrain Specification dbx and change the Terrain Surface Smoothing to Medium or any one except Linear. It looks like the terrain needs some work.

Chopsaw Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Well that is rather interesting. Does that mean you can have an imported terrain as well as a " Chief Terrain " ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Is there more than one terrain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glennw Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I am not sure what Eric did, but there was already a terrain in the plan which did not allow me to generate another terrain. I guess he must have deleted the existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j2narchitecture Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Thanks for the feedback everybody. :) Glenn: There should only be one terrain. In my CA plan, I got frustrated with and started to make some topography by using poly line solids. That’s the bit you see off to the left of the terrain in your pic above of the terrain you got to show up in camera view. I am going to look at the original cad file and see if I can clean it up and then reimport it into CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
