Improving your Corridor Contour Tie In
Posted by Dana Breig Probert, EIT on 15th April 2007
You may have experienced some frustratation trying to get your daylighting contours to “tie in” to your existing ground contours.
(EG= Red Tones, FG=Blue Tones)
The reason this happens is that Civil 3D is tying your TINs together- NOT necessarily your contours.Â
We are so used to looking at contours sometimes that we forget that contours are PRODUCT of TIN and won’t always wind up with that perfect Pentel Marking Pen flare at the end when we are dealing with the linear world of TIN theory.Â
There is an easy solution to this problem, however. You can have great contour tie in with an extra few steps.
