Editing/working with a TIN Surface

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and BricsCAD, although previous experience with ACAD.

I've been given a TIN surface file and need to extract level information to inform a 2D site access. Apparently, this was the only option other than topo to get levels. I have BricsCAD pro, can I extract the level information to display as spot heights? That's all I need.

Thanks

    If you were to consider third party add-ons, DotSoft's MapWorks will allow you to place spot elevations, slope direction arrows and a whole lot more. Works with it's own surfaces in BricsCAD v20 and prior, and the BricsCAD Surface objects in v21/v22 !!!

    In BricsCAD V22 we introduced a new CIVILPOINT command that allows inserting a single point by specifying its location in a drawing.

    The workflow to extract elevation on TIN Surface with CIVILPOINT command is:

    • Press and hold the Shift key, then right click and select the Entity Snap mode in the context menu and turn on "Snap to End point".
    • Run command CIVILPOINT and specify point location on TIN Surface
    • Enter point description
    • Press enter to apply the elevation obtained from the TIN Surface

    And then repeat the last three steps for each point.
