Height data models with *.asc extensions.

Hi everyone.

Can someone help!

First of all, I am a bit new to working with terrain/height data models.

I have been asked to create a model of a highway (which is at quite a gradient, so needs height data) showing various options for pavements/sidewalks, barriers etc.

I have 2m height data in the form of *.asc files. I am unfamiliar with this format. Is it possible to import these files into V8i? The vendor states they can be used with AutoCAD - I assume that there is a Bentley progam that can do the same?

I don't necessarily need to edit the file, but want to use it as a reference.

I am a Select subscriber - Is there an application (such as Bentley Map) that I could download and use.

Thanks
