3D polyline from DTM

Anonymous over 14 years ago

Howdy, I'm new to the forum and new to InRoads. I'd like to know if there is a simple way of populating a 3D polyline with elevations from a DTM/surface. I have drawn several 3D polylines all with vertex elevations of 0 and I would like to change the 0 elevations to the elevations of the dtm. I'd rather not generate alignments as my roadway is 45 miles long and I think it will take too long, so I'm looking for a simpler way. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks and please let me know if I should be posting this in a different area.

Try the Surface> Design Surface> Drape Surface with Tools> Locks> Locate set to Graphics. At the top of the Drape Surface dialog, the Current Locate Mode should display Graphics if the lock is set correctly. Click the Help button on the dialog for more information. I hope this helps!

By the way, you posted in the correct forum.

Thanks,
