Spot heights (AutoCad) to Contours (Sketchup)
-
Hi,
I have been given a survey with a series of spot heights, I need to create 3D terrain from this, I need to make these contours so that I can use them in sketchup.
In the autocad file I have removed everything but the spot heights, by spot heights I mean a 2D image of an (x) with the height in metres next to it.
I have then run a program on AutoCad that recognizes the text and crosses and gives them a height (Z) value turning it into a 3D connect the dots haha.
This is where I encounter the problem when i try to import this into sketchup and use contours it does not recognizes it and nothing happens.
Anyone have any advice?
I can upload the files if you need to see it in more detail.
Thanks.
