Better ways to create mesh for grading?
-
I have been using sandbox tools for grading, but I don't like the way it creates the faces. I am really missing soap skin bubble! I'm just looking for other ideas how to create a mesh from grade lines.
The way 'from contours' does it, I can't use Artisan to smooth and grade specific areas like drains, etc.

Hi, David:
Wouldn't you need more contour information in the interior of your plan? Would Fredo6's Toposhaper be a possibility? -
TGI 3D Create Mesh feature using a nice tesselation for this type patching

Also, see this link, if it has any relevance. There are some other links in some of the replies.

Thanks for the recommendation for Toposhaper. I had not tried that yet. It does a great job at creating a mesh and grading it for me, however, it does not respect the edge lines, like the sandbox tools or soap skin bubble does. Obviously, I could manually fix all of important edges, but I'd rather not!

Maybe look at Rich's suggestion. It could turn out to be a cost effective solution.
