Surface creation problem

Hi, 

 

I'm using Civil 2012 to create a surface for a landfill. I have UTM coordinates, and my elevations range from about 71m to 115m. When I create my surface using the points, I check the Surface Properties/Statistics, it appears the X,Y & Z coordinates have been scaled down by 3 decimal places. I'm using UTM coordinates to create the points.

Example:

Min elevation = 0.071m .... should be 71m

 

Min X = 481.510m etc. ... should be 481510.99 or something similar. 

 

Units are set to meters. 

 

Any help greatly appreciated! 

 

-Jason M.

Are the Coordinate Units on Ambient Settings tab of Drawing settings dialog set to meters or mm?

Thanks for the quick reply. Upon checking the drawing settings, the units were set to MM. Once I changed that, my surface seemed fine, and I was able to generate contours. Everything looks fine now, thanks so much! -jason m.
