    How to generate contour lines for terrain mesh model in MicroStation ?

    Steps to Accomplish

    1. Draw outside of the terrain model simple rectangle shapes. These shapes should be placed on the Z height corresponding to the desired contour lines we want to achieve.
    2. Use the tool Planar Slice with the method Slice by Element and select all shapes. Left click to preview and once again left click to accept.
    3. Line Strings representing contour lines should appear on the mesh model.
