API MINIMUMDISTBETWEENSURFACES

[Dexterel]

Is MINIMUMDISTBETWEENSURFACES implemented in Civil API?

AFIK this command is not exposed in the .net API. I would approach it by creating the Volume Surface  with TinVolumeSurface.Create (...) and than analyzing this surface.  First check the Surface.GetGeneralProperties (...) for the MinimumElevation. If the MinimumElevation is greater or equal zero, than MinimumCoordinateX and MinimumCoordinateY gives you the point. If MinimumElevation is negative, than the surfaces crossing each other and you can create with SurfaceAnalysis.SetUserDefinedContourData (...) with elevation 0 the crossing lines and read them with SurfaceAnalysis.GetUserDefinedContourData.

I already made the volume surface and used surface.ExtractContoursAt(0) and tested if the no. of contours is >0.

Does ExtractContoursAt(0) work at a TinVolumeSurface? AFIK the method is only on TinSurface available.

ExtractContoursAt works on TinVolumeSurface, TinSurface and GridSurface
