This command creates contour lines on a mesh.
Requirements
Select a mesh and launch the command.
-
Define the Step between each contour line.
-
Choose the Range of the contours:
-
All over to have contour lines all over the selection. Check Pass Through to force the section to pass through a given point.
-
Custom to compute contour lines between two elevations. In this case, you have to define the range. Contour lines will pass through the From value.
-
-
Optionally, Major contours frequency. In this case, you need to set the interval between major contours.
-
Optionally, Filter contours smaller than to remove irrelevant contours.
-
Customize the aspect with Display options:
-
Display texts or not,
-
Change the color of the contours,
-
Change the width of the contours.
-
-
Adjust the Mesh transparency to better see computed contour lines inside the command.
-
Set Export options to define texts frequency and height in DXF/Send To exports. These settings have to be defined according to the scale of the desired deliverable.
Notes
-
Contour lines are always computed along the Z direction of the current coordinate system.
-
The export will use the currently active coordinate system.
