cferman Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 has anyone tried utilizing surfaces from civil 3d yet? When I import the xml file it gives me a mesh that I can't edit. And it also is not viewable in wireframe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you did this were you utilizing a graded surface created from civil 3d or just linework? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
