Contour Marking 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 ('3D - Lines...', 'Offset 3D-Lines...', and 'Interpolate Elevations Along 3D-Line').
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
Tip: Shortcut to this function (in case the 3D-line is a Novapoint entity):
MOUS_ICO Toolbar: Novapoint Base: object_menu
Command prompts for:
Select an entity:
MOUS_ICO Pick a 3D-line
MOUS_ICO Select the flyout menu option 'Draw Contour'
Command prompt for:
Contour spacing <5.00>:
KEYB_ICO Define the contour interval (meter), at which contours are to be marked.
Point to a line, arc, or polyline:
MOUS_ICO Pick all the 3D lines and confirm the selection with the key 'Return'
