Conforming Annotation Lines

Video Links: Conform Annotate

Design lines often import from CAD files as annotation. These annotation lines can be converted into three-dimensional data lines by using the Conform Annotate command. This command can quickly change a large number of annotation lines by conforming them to the current data lines or surface.

Conform to Data Lines

The Conform Annotate to Data Lines command can convert the annotation lines to data lines by assigning elevations at the intersection of 3D data..

 

  • In Edit Mode, select all the top of curb annotation lines. You may select by label for use the Shift key to select multiple lines.

  • Select Conform Annotate > To Data Lines command from the Utility Menu.

  • The selected annotation lines are assigned the elevations where the data lines cross the annotation lines. All other points will be interpolated..

Conform to Current Surface

The Conform Annotate to Current Surface command can convert the annotation lines to data lines based on the current 3D surface. This is typically used on islands in parking lots that have a good finished surface.

 

  • Select all the curb lines around the islands..

  • Select Conform Annotate > To Current Surface command from the Utility Menu.

  • The selected annotation lines are assigned the elevations where the data lines cross the annotation lines. All other points will be interpolated..
