Has anyone ever been able to import the DEM coords. into a GDL Mesh. I think AC would be a good program to add referenced objects to DEM's
Thanks

Djordje, I have no idea how much Archi Terra costs, but it looks like a useful tool.
Check on the Cigraph Factory web site; used to be something about 150 US?

Thanks for the link. I have searched going out from wikipedia and found a link I want to bookmark here DEM-Format. It leads to some PDF files, which will describe the file format itself. But one sentence gives to think about:
there have some other formats over the years which use the ".DEM" file extension but are a different, incompatible format
I will give ArchiTerra a try.

If you only need to convert the text or dxf file to 3d mesh you do not need to buy Archi Terra .
Download the version you need, you can use it in demo version for 10 commands. It is enough to convert the file to 3d mesh and 2d lines.
If ıt is not close ac and start again you have 10 comands in Terra again.

But ıf you need to make roads,walls or other comands usually in Terra ,you need to but it
