Create Surface from AutoCAD Contours

Hi
When you create surface from AutoCAD polylines (drawn as contours) the surface contours hence generated donot exactly overlap the AutoCAD contours. Is there any option for this.

Hi,

Only in very artifiical situations.will you get similar contours.
Particularly if the polylines include arcs

Building a DTM from contours is nearly always the least accurate way of
doing it, as the contours are already a approximation of the surface and
normally cannot reflect the real shape of the surface as well as the TIN
model.created and whose contours are displayed by Civil 3D.

Hi Amit,

While I help here where I can do so easily with public scrutiny and review,
no research, minimum care and no responsibility, I do not respond to direct
questions except for CADApps clients with support contracts.
