Mark3D Posted June 21 Share Posted June 21 I if you do trace the contours I would try tracing every second major contour and see if that works often less is best you can always add 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark3D Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Give this file a go its a bit rough I think it will be good enough i drew over the pdf in a app concepts with apple pencil then exported it to dxf you just need to import scale it and give the lines elevation heights elevations.dxf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneDavis Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 What is the goal here and why is the surveyor not on the team? Is it to be able to view proposed buildings at various places on the acreage, all in 3D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lack of surveyor participation is unfortunate but irrelevant at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you still need help with this site plan, let me know. I have a program that uses Google Earth data to generate a 3D of the site and I should be able to help you with this. All I should need is the lat long coordinates of one of the property line corners so I can locate it on Google Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a general FYI about Google Earths accuracy, and in regards to this post, it's not going to be nearly as accurate as the survey that he has, though he certainly could use a combination of the survey and what you would provide. Google Earth interpolates from section to section where a section is a resolution of 30 meters by 90 meters. It will miss things hidden by trees or incorrectly interpret retaining walls etc. It can be off as much as 2M at times. Google gets my lot way off, and in general doesnt do well with dense forest hills for instance. I use it as well but not when it comes to anything important regarding terrain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it as well but not when it comes to anything important regarding terrain I understand it may be hard to get absolutes in a dynamic environment... being perfect in an imperfect world could be quite costly... what, with earthquakes, slumps, flashfloods, tectonic plate movement, and those pesky bulldozers... Reminds me of the time two engineers asked me if I set the bearing on the targets to plus or minus 0.0002 of a degree... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try M60 tanks, SP's, 2.5 ton trucks, missile launchers, APC's, etc... the engineers said their algorithm was set up to handle this degree of accuracy. roflmao Imagine parallel parking a over 100 sixty ton tanks to that degree of accuracy.

And it only takes a few minutes to generate... I had a guy who wanted to put an addition on the back of his house and he told me the lot was flat. The lot actually sloped up about 2 feet.

I have had owners tell me that too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
