RiverCad Elevations

[Russ W]

I have a dwg file with elevations and I cannot get the program to screen the cross sections. All the elevations that it picks up are set to zero. I have configured the elevation layers, map and map units. I have posted the file on ftp if you can look at it.

Russ:

I have downloaded the file and will be looking at it.

Once I have figured it out, I will let you know.

Russ:

Note that the contours that were created are splines--not polylines. While RiverCAD can handle lots of different entities, including 2D and 3D polylines, polyfaces, etc., we have never run into splines. So, I have asked our developers to look into adding support for splines, but it may take some time. In the mean while, you might want to see if the software that generated the splines can instead generate the contours as polylines.
