Contour Level Settings
TerraModeler version 023.006 and newer
Feature Details
Display Contours tool draws contour lines for a surface model. You can generate quick contours which are suitable for verifying the surface model or higher-quality contours to be plotted on paper. The tool can also be used to save a contour settings file that is required for producing contour lines automatically in a batch process. The settings file stores all information related to contour lines, labels, and ticks, except the name of the surface model.
Steps:
- Create surface model (this surface model was created using 50ft grid points and DTM feature extraction prior to filming)
- Visit: TModel toolbar > Display Shaded Surface
- Visit: TModel toolbar > Display Contours
- Mode: Write to File
- Enter preferred contour increments (we used 1ft/5ft in this example)
