terrain with spot levels

Anonymous

Hi folks,
Ive got a project here with a site plan with only spot levels. No contours. Having not really used the mesh tool for terrain creation much before, is there an efficient way of creating terrain from spot levels?
Many thanks.

You can select your mesh, and with the polygon construction method active (NOT rectangular or rotated rectangle) double click within the mesh, then click OK in the resulting popup dialogue (only option is to fit to user ridges), then select your new point and assign the appropriate Z value.

Beautiful Stuart, Thanks. How would I go about smoothing out these sharp ridges ive now got?
Thanks again.

Thanks stuart,
Already had that set. Might just be I dont have enough points allocated yet. Still not sure if this is how I should be approaching modelling this site.
