Creating a Site

Creating a Toposurface
Demonstrates how to create a toposurface by importing contour data from a DWG file.

Creating a Toposurface by Defining Points
Demonstrates how to create a toposurface by placing multiple points and illustrates that contours are generated based on triangulation.

Site Settings
Demonstrates how to access the Site Settings dialog in order to label and control the display of contours and the sectional qualities of the toposurface.

Creating Topographic Subregions
Demonstrates how to use sketching tools to create a subregion and how to assign alternate materials to the subregion.

Creating a Building Pad
Demonstrates how to use a DWG underlay file and sketching tools to add a building pad to the site, and shows how the toposurface adjusts to the pad.

Adding Site Components
Demonstrates how to load site component families, such as a parking space and a planting object from the library, and how to change the component type while placing the object.
