contour type import

by matt.feider@[EMAIL PROTECTED] Apr 28, 2008 at 07:18 PM

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?
