Our terrain is currently flat because there is no elevation data in the plan. For more information about elevation information, see "Terrain Elevation Tools".

To add elevation information to your plan
  1. Select Window> Fill Window to fill the window with the terrain perimeter.
  2. Select Terrain> Elevation Data> Elevation Line and draw elevation lines as shown in the following image. An elevation line drawn near the end of another will merge.


  3. To enter elevation information, click the Select Objects button, select an elevation line, and click the Open Object edit button to open it for specification. Values entered are in inches unless the foot ( ' ) mark is added. Negative values are preceded with a hyphen (-).
  4. Select 3D> Create Render View> Render Full Overview to create a full overview. Pressing the "I" key or the "O" key moves the camera in or out.
