Terrain Perimeter Question

[RichardD]

If you import your plot plan, but your Terrain Perimeter does not convert in your plot plan, but when you try to convert the polyline to Terrain Perimeter, you did not get the option to convert to Terrain Perimeter, even though it shows that it is a closed.

Additionally, how can you make your terrain perimeter recognized so that you can convert it to Terrain Perimeter? Please refer to the attached file for further details.

A couple guesses without the actual .plan file:

1. you already have a terrain perimeter...if so, delete it and try again
2. the lines aren't actually closed...in the screen shot you attached, I don't see anything filled, demonstrating that it is closed, so it may not be closed.

Again, just some guesses...if those don't do it, upload the file for better answers.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks, you were right—the line wasn’t actually closed, but it’s fixed now. One more question: what should you do if your elevation lines import as CAD blocks? Do you have to unblock each one individually and convert it to its elevation, or is there an easier way?

[BenPalmer]

You're welcome. Yes, you will need to unblock and convert each.  You may be able to have the person who is sending the file unblock them before they send, to save you some time. But, may take more time to have them do that. 

 

All the best.

Thanks again. I’ll unblock it since there aren’t too many elevation lines.
