    |
|
Recently I've got a couple of .dwg Site plan files where, in lieu of contour lines, I get a layer with the trianglulation showing. I've tried to attached the file, but keep getting the error "Upload Error: Could not upload Attachment to ./files/export.tif."
Is there a way in Autocad to save this so I get contours?

What you received was the TIN (Triangular Integrated Network)... The survey software typically has the option to generate a TIN or Contour Lines from the surveyors spot data.
usually the contour data is also there on it's own layer.If it's not - you're best bet is to chat w/the surveyor or file author to ask for the contour data instead.
hope that helps

Brian,
Your right as usual. Surveyor says he needs to save the info as "polylines".
