huntch3 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 Hey I wanted to create a topo surface (faceted not smooth) in 3dsmax, using the topo lines from my cad file...so what do you think is the easiest way to do this? Do I need to import each line individually and then raise up each line to the correct hight, then loft them?? please let me know any tricks you may know...thaks! huntch3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Zaslavsky Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 have a look at part 3 chapter 8 of Brian Smith's latest book - Arch Viz Intro to Advanced. They've done a fantastic writeup in lots of detail on creating sites in exactly the fashion you are asking about hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean@pikcells Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 you should post 3ds max related questions in the 3ds max section too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruprect Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 You could try raising them in AutoCAD first. Select the polyline, go to properties and change the elevation tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
