      I'm working with raster site plans that I import into SU as image, these plans have the elevations written on them based on old surveys then based on these drawings I try to use the ruler tool to set the points to use with TopoShaper to build the terrain, it takes a long time to do as I'm not able to create the points with the ruler tool directly from the plane so I need to first draw a small line from the start point for each measurement and then use the ruler tool.
      then i end up with something like the attached image. Is there a better/faster way to do this?
