Is it possible to generate this over terrain?
-
I created this using the PathCopy plugin. How would I go about making this follow a terrain with elevation?
-
There are a couple of plugins which will 'Drop' entities to nearest etc, can't remember what they are are called. Do a search for 'drop'.
Or wait til someone else replies with more info. -
i use one calledDropGC by the smustard team available at trimble extension warehouse.. it drops objects straight down and the stop when intersecting with other geometry.. i think there are other versions which will drop down then orient objects according the the angle of the terrain.
-
Example with ThrowTo...
(no orientation according the angle of the terrain)

I never used it, but maybe you can for this purpose - SketchyPhysics.
-
I drew a line on a terrain with the surface pen tool, selected the line, copied it and used weld. Then PathCopy.
The result wasn´t perfect, but I can see myself using that technique. Details that are off could be fixed manually I suppose.

Looks pretty good to me.
(Only the gods achieve perfection, whilst we mortals merely strive for it). -
Thanks. It´s a start.
Actually, I tried this out some more and you can get really far using that technique. I never work with machine like perfection anyway. Like CAD-drawings etc.
