Points created from a Surface

bnagel — Thu, 13 May 2021 14:18:05 GMT

I created some pionts using Random Points routine which used a proposed surface. The surface was modified slightly. How do I update the points to coincide with the revised surface without having to manually edit them?

TIA,

Bob

In my dwg file, I went to Modify tab. Then click on points, then Elevations from Surface. Follow the prompts.

Thank you,

So you're modifying them one at a time. I bought Sincpac to dynamically link the points to the proposed Surface. Saves a lot of time when there are last minute changes to the grading and I don't have to edit all the stakeout points.

No, I created a point group and that is an option.
