Try putting your surveyors plan on top of the mesh and not in a work sheet.

Are you doing the following:<UL><LI>1. Select the mesh<BR /> 2. Click on the mesh tool<BR /> 3. Space-click on a contour</LI></UL> Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:10:57 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-make-the-contour-lines-in-a-terrain-with-the-mesh-tool/m-p/205990#M111522 Ralph Wessel 2008-11-05T19:10:57Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-make-the-contour-lines-in-a-terrain-with-the-mesh-tool/m-p/205991#M111523 iv found it to work best if i stick a copy of the surveyors plan on my site plan/story.. creat the mesh then delete the survyors stuff Wed, 05 Nov 2008 22:27:23 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-make-the-contour-lines-in-a-terrain-with-the-mesh-tool/m-p/205991#M111523 Anonymous 2008-11-05T22:27:23Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-make-the-contour-lines-in-a-terrain-with-the-mesh-tool/m-p/205992#M111524 Thank you, I just did that and it worked, thanks again Wed, 05 Nov 2008 23:21:54 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Modeling/Can-t-make-the-contour-lines-in-a-terrain-with-the-mesh-tool/m-p/205992#M111524 Anonymous 2008-11-05T23:21:54Z
