Forma Terrain issues

tasistro-hart — Thu, 16 May 2024 19:07:10 GMT

I'm trying to underlay a DXF exported from a GIS application only to find that the terrain object clips the DXF. This is frustrating because the terrain in forma is limited to 4 square kilometers and the DXF shows information of about 8 square kilometers. The terrain object should not clip imported DXFs. Is there a workaround?

"as-working.png" is what forma currently displays when i insert a dxf. The dxf has hatches and curves which are only visible on the terrain object. The dxf is only visible when the terrain visibility is set to "map."

"expected.png" is what i expect to see. I selected the dxf which is why there are blue outlines. I am expecting to see gray hatches that are part of the file extend beyond the terrain.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply and sharing the examples. The issue is with how we render vectors. We do quite a few optimisations to run things smoothly that's the reason you see dotted lines.

We are looking into how to fix this issue.
