Help! Complex Terrain contour on X12

[Bruno007]

Hey Chiefers, 

 

I'm working on Chief X12 and it seems that the tools are buggy or outdated. I can't seem to get the terrain to work with my contours.

Any tips that I'm not aware that could facilitate this terrain?

I hate to be captain obvious (not really, I love pointing out the obvious), but you are using a version that is 5 versions old.  Of course it is outdated.

 

The bad news is that I don't think the terrain has actually changed much since X12.

 

I would start by trying to make "elevation splines" to match your existing contour lines.  In theory, that should give you a pretty accurate model of it.  If you are having problems with this, then you might want to post your plan or at least some pictures showing what the problems are.

I would first try using only the major contour lines for elevation data as chief will get slowed down if you use all minor contours , then if needed you could add some minor contours for correct shaping.

if you have the cad file you could import to chief  I think x12 may have import ability the video is using x13

Also if you have built the terrain and are having trouble upload your file you will probably get a fix
