Good Day,
Is there a easy way of know what the lowest point on a closed feature line is.
Example:
I am placing a reservoir on the side of a hill. Draw a polygon with 25 sides make it Inscribed and create a feature line from object. I assign the ground elevations to the feature line. Under the feature line elevation editor you get a list of elevations but you cant 'sort' them.
I usually resort to taking the polygon and making a slight break in the line. Then I creat a profile from it and do a inquiry on the lowest point. Then I just do a undo.
Is there a tool I am missing.
Regards
Rob
You could select all and paste to Excel, find and replace the unit (e.g. m in metric versions) and sort

With just a wee bit of programming this is a fairly simple thing to do. Here's a pic showing the results of some code I just wrote that shows both the High & Low points (yellow & green circles respectively). I will post to the C3D.Customization forum both the source code and a compiled .NET DLL that you may load (using netload) and run the command FEATUREHIGHLOW.
This is not a full featured command, as the circles are a fixed size, I only allow Featurelines or 3DPolylines to be selected (Survey figures, Parcel Segments could both added be used if desired). However, since it is a .NET solution, it works in C3D 2010 through 2012 without any changes required.
Hope it helps a bit.
create a surface and read the contours - that is what we do, no?
Jeff has come up trumps again with his programming skills.......!!!!! Hats off to you, Sir....

You could create a surface at elevation 0 and another with your featureline and then use the minimum distane between surfaces command.
