Import surface - MDT25This command enables file conversion with a surface (triangulation) created with other programs. First a dialog box appears for selecting…
Create surface - MDT25Creating a surface is equivalent to generating the digital terrain model. That is why this command performs the triangulation process in…
Set current surface - MDT25This command sets the surface file that is now considered the current surface. This will be the surface taken by default for generating…
Convert drawing - MDT25This command allows one to create a surface file from a triangulation drawn with line-type objects. This command can be used if one wishes…
Convert 3D faces - MDT25This command allows one to create a surface file from a triangulation drawn with 3D Face-type objects. Its main use is to import a…
Create from mesh - MDT25This tool will allow us to create a surface from a file of MDT meshes. When executing the command, it will ask us for the mesh file and…
Invert direction - MDT25The process of creating a triangulation is based on the algorithm known as Delaunay's Triangulation. In this process, the triangles are…
Insert line - MDT25As well as inverting the direction of a surface line, a surface can be modified by inserting a line between two random points. Once the…
Delete lines - MDT25When boundary lines have not been defined, it is normal for triangles to be generated beyond the scatter plot's perimeter. On other…
Delete triangle - MDT25This command is used to delete a surface triangle, by selecting an interior coordinate. Confirmation of the delete will appear in the…
Edit vertex - MDT25This command can be used if any surface vertex coordinates have to be manually changed. After selecting a point on the screen, the program…
Delete vertex - MDT25This command allows one to manually delete vertices from the current surface and automatically triangulates the area. In order to select…
Add points - MDT25This command allows one to add surveying points to the current surface. Firstly, a dialog box is displayed where the program requests the…
Add polylines - MDT25This command makes it possible to add break lines to the current drawing, without the need of reconstructing it. When it is executed, a…
Change elevations - MDT25When this command is executed, a dialog box is displayed where the elevation adjustment to be applied to all the current surface's…
Draw - MDT25This command allows one to draw the current surface. The following dialog box is displayed: With the Surface button, one can change the…
Represent as - MDT25MDT represents a surface by drawing the lines of its triangles' edges without repetitions. This is an efficient way regarding the number…
Determine elevations - MDT25This function enables us to calculate and display, using the commands of the CAD environment, the elevation of any predetermined flat…
Information - MDT25In Topography natural surface means the surface the shape of which coincides with the physical reality we intend to represent. However…
Check surface - MDT25The program changes the color of each triangulation line and assigns it the color code corresponding to the number of times it is…
Delete surface - MDT25With this command, the program eliminates the relation with the current surface, removing it from the drawing. From the moment it is…
Delete area - MDT25This tool serves to create a gap in the current surface. In addition to changing the triangulation, the program can perform the following…
[PRO] generate proposed terrain - MDT25This command allows one to obtain the final status of the project's surface after earthworks. First one must select a segment file, or a…
[PRO] earthworks by terrain elevation - MDT25Along with Earthworks by Platform Elevation, this tool allows one to change the current surface by creating a platform. It is supposed…
[PRO] earthworks by platform elevation - MDT25This tool, along with that of Earthwork by Terrain Elevation allows the current surface to be modified by creating a platform. On this…
[PRO] earthworks by embankment foot - MDT25This command is equivalent to Earthworks by Terrain Elevation, with the peculiarity that only the platform and its slopes are generated…
