Surface Not Overlaying

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hi,

I have created a surface using a DEM file I found from WebGIS. I have my drawing coordinate system set to the location of my site and I changed the CS code of the DEM I used to create the surface to the coordinate system that it uses. I have done the same process using the same DEM and location before and have gotten my surface to overlay my site first time, but now I am trying to do it again for a different drawing and its not overlaying. The surface is out in space away from my site. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated. I've posted the drawing file below.

Hello,

 

Check you C3D Drawing Settings\Units and Zone.  Your file is set to NAD83 Mississippi State Plane, West.  I can't find a county 7.5min DEM for Hazelhurst in Mississippi on WebGIS.
