I would really like to import a contour type plot as a surface. Two problems as I see it. First it is a ton of data and how best to map a surface to that...Second (and probably the bigger of the two) is the size. This happens to be several square miles and I know out of solidworks modeling extents for a part. Any ideas on how to work with something like this?
I know not really typical for solidworks, but I have a project that simply does lend itself to a 3d type review. I have data in autocad but is almost useless for the information I want out of it. Basically to determine the volume of a pretty big material dump.
I have thought about scaling into the right extents, but am still left with applying the surface to the contour lines.
Just wondering if anyone has any ideas?
