Contour lines+marks from Mesh

Anonymous

Hi everyone,
I had been through some posts about how to extract contours line in an automated way, that would follow up changes on the terrain's mesh, but it seems solutions are far from being automated. One would be to set up 3d cutting planes in floor plans and manually get contours and later write their height :0 Or again set up solid elements operations and basically go through the same steps.
Is still in archicad 21 the case, or it has been automated?

Thanks everyobdy

Hi,

I'm also looking into something much more automated in terms of generating mesh with contour lines in archicad. I have done the manual method of creating a mesh and adding up contour lines manually and elevating them but now I'm using surveyors data which I import a .txt file that would auto generate the mesh but the thing is there are no contour lines and if i compare it with the "other" software it easily picks up those line... Looking for answers...

Thanks.
In the end what is your Objective?
