3D geology map

Hi,

 

I am new to AutoCad and I have been asked to make a 3D geology map of a pit.  I have the pit design dxf imported in ac3d and want to map on it.  Can I make 3D polylines? Can I draw polylines of geologic features and snap then to elevation contours of the pit design to give them Z dimensions?  Does anyone have any experience making 3D geology maps in ac3d? Any help, tips, or tutorials that would help me out with this would be much appreciated.  Thanks!

 

-Michelle

With Autocad, nothing's impossible, sir.

Unfortunately I don't know what do you mean about "pit", so please upload a couple of screenshots, thanx.

Its an open pit at a mine.  The dxf is basically just a topographic map of a big hole the the ground.  Thanks

To boreholes, use the civil 3D - Borehole Import

If the dxf contains the z value you can export as 3d polyline, then make a 3d map...
