xEndlessxUrbiax Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 An elevation is a 2D drawing. I think you are asking if there is an easy way to convert 2D elevations into a 3D model. It would help to know what programs you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco Penaloza Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 What you can do is offset each curve to the respective eight then import those curves in Max and use the terrain modifier, fine tune from there. Now what I usually do is get the terrain from Sketch up, locate the area in the connection with Google earth and download the terrain data, it is surprisingly pretty close to reality, then export that to Max and fine tune with the CAD data.
