I have been unable to find a better way of adding Topo lines into a mesh than to magic wand them. This is time consuming and seems to be a single core operation. I would like a tool or operation where I can select all the topo lines that I want to insert into a mesh and have the tool do it all in one step.

If it's not too much to create and support perhaps a low price would lead to a wide uptake. This would seem appropriate for something that is more af a tool enhancement than a full featured add-on.chriszolezzi wrote:This wish (and Matthew's addition) could be readily solved through the API.

Matthew wrote:I was simply making the observation that the API is well suited to solving this problem - whether in an existing or new add-on is further ahead than I had contemplated. The difficulty is that the market for any API development is very small - in part due to the relatively small number of users, but greatly increased because only a small proportion of them will ever be aware that add-ons exist. If there was an active add-on market - like the iPhone App Store - I think it would be far easier to solve problems like this without looking to Graphisoft for everything.
Part of this question is whether there is room for two terrain add-ons in the ArchiCAD aftermarket. The other part is how much development cost?

All I would like to be able to do is maggic wand multiple lines at one time with the mesh tool
