Where is the survayors data file located ?

[Barry Kelly]

If you mean an 'xyz' data file that you have received from your surveyor then you can save that anywhere you like.
Then use the 'Place mesh from surveyors data" command and browse to where you saved the file.
Archicad will read the data and create the mesh - you don't need the data file anymore - unless you want to go through the process again.

How do I apply slop and elevation to a landscape design ?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

we do our site from the surveyor data. But went we do that and we have level let see of 100 feet we are going to have 100 feet of mesh. is there a way to have the right finish level but without thickness of 100. We know that we can display only the top but if we can't only have 8 feet under the top this will be fine.


Any solution will be appreciate

By using the Mesh tool for your site.

You should be able to adjust the skirt height and then either set a level for the base (bottom) or simply drag it vertically in 3D or section/elevation to suit our model.

Almost perfect , but Morph does a better landscaping than MESH that does not have a CURVE . But where is MORPH thickness and SOLIDITY ?

A morph is as thick as you want it to be.
It doesn't have a uniform thickness - you have to create it by extruding or adding surfaces.
A morph can be a simple line, a plane (or series of planes) or a prism (or in fact any combination or all 3).
If it is a prism and all the surfaces (planes) are closed (i.e. it is sealed and there are no empty surfaces) then it is automatically considered solid.

Hello Barry,


We did that and it still keeping the surveyor data level. We did try 0 to see what happen and it didn't do anything it is just keeping the height.
