Create By Elements Select graphic elements and create

a terrain model. Usually 3D graphics but a 2D commandalso available.

Create By Graphic Filter Like Extract Graphics inGEOPAK, except you can save and reuse the settings.

Complex Terrain Merge multiple terrains into a new

terrain ruled to the original terrains.

represents the difference between two terrain models orbetween a terrain model and a plane.

Create From Point Cloud Extract the points from a point

cloud into a terrain model.




Remember: Rules basedelements means you must edit therules, not the result.

Civil Terrain Edit Tools

Add Elements Add graphical elements to a terrain

Remove Elements Remove elements from a terrain

Edit Complex Changes the merge methods or merge

order. Add or remove terrains from the mergesequence.

ChangeFeature Type for example, change break lineto boundary or void to drape void.



Civil Terrain Edit Un-ruled Terrain Models

Delete Vertex delete a triangle vertex thus creating a void

Delete Edge Triangle delete a triangle on the edge of the terrain. Cannotdelete triangle from interior or one which touches a break line

Swap Link reverse the orientation of a triangle leg to correct for flat triangles

Insert Vertex add a point, thus adding additional triangles Move Vertex move a triangle vertex

Delete Triangles By Crossing Line delete multiple triangles on the edge.

Delete Feature for example, remove break line from the terrain.



Civil Terrain Analysis Tools

Analyze Point

Analyze Between Points

Stream Trace

Analyze Pond

Analyze Crossing Breaks

Analyze Duplicate Points



Civil Terrain Miscellaneous Tools

Export export to TIN, DTM, FIL or XML
