My DEM surface is not created in the correct location. Somebody talk to me.

Hi Mike,
Can you zip up your dataset and include a description of the steps you used
and place them in the autodesk.autocad.customer-files NG.
Thanks,
Henry

Hi, Henry. I haven't heard from you in a while. I hope all is well. I'll
post it immediately. Thanks.

Mike,
Civil 3D is not converting the metric x,y coordinates in the DEM file to
feet. I've created a defect for this. Since the DEM file elevation data is
in feet, you can't scale the surface.
For now, you have to create the surface from the DEM file in Land Desktop
and import it into Civil 3D using LandXML or the Import Data from Land
Desktop command, located in the General menu.
Thanks again,
Henry

I am having this same issue with a DEM. I have a DEM that is in meters in X,Y and in feet in the Z. I tried your suggestion of bringing it in to LDT first and then importing it into Civil 3D. Can you tell me what settings I'm supposed to have in LDT?? Do I set the drawing to the coordinate zone of the DEM or to No Datum No Projection?? I've tried multiple combinations and nothing seems to get it in the right spot. HELP!!!
