OS Height points into Mesh?

Anonymous — Thu, 25 May 2023 15:12:59 GMT

Hello! I need some help regarding mesh and height points. I have baught a OS survey including height points for a site and would like to create a mesh using the information of the height points. it's a dxf drawing and i can see the 3D grid in Autocad - but not in ArchiCAD - i can't even get any z- values from those points when i open it in ArchiCAD... surely there must be a way!! please - does anyone know??

hmm... thanks - but unfortunately i've got hundreds of points but no contours. Doh! if there is no way - they should make one in the next ArchiCad version. Download the height information with your OSmap and -bit of magic wand - ta daa - have the mesh for your site!!

Sorry I misunderstood your question.
Cigraph seems to listen to this forum. Re-post your question in the "Other products" section with an "Architerra problem" subject and you'll probably get an answer soon. Don't forget to include your platform info, Archicad version, Architerra version and so on.
