Draw Contour Marks on 3D Lines
Use this function to draw contour marks on a selected 3D line at desired contour interval.
Contour marks are short cross marks along the line with text entities indicating the elevation.
The 3D-line can be a CAD entity or Novapoint entity (Create 3D - Line, Create Parallel 3D - Lines, and Height Interpolation).
Run the function from the following locations:
MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Elevation Tools: Draw Contour Marks on 3D-Line
MOUS_ICO Menu: Road > Elevation Tools > Draw Contour Marks on 3D-Line
Command prompt for:
Contour spacing <5.00>:
Define the contour interval (meter), at which contours are to be marked.
Point to a line, arc, or polyline:
Pick all the 3D lines and confirm the selection with the key Return.
Tip: Shortcut to this function (in case the 3D-line is a Novapoint entity):
MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Novapoint Base:Â object_menu
Command prompts for:
Select an Entity:
Pick a 3D-line.
Select the flyout menu option Draw Contour.
