- Hello.
The weeks are really running away... I have already a full calender until late April ;-) But I do prefer to have things to do, rather than the other way around...
First I'd like to mention that we have done a minor update to the .lsp regarding how to "Change Elevation" on contours, from Z=0 to a range of Z-values. That lisp had a slight "bug" in the header explaining that it was to "rotate blocks"... which it was NOT intended to. Anyway - I have updated the text in it now.
Here it is, again: Download file
For those of you who have not seen/used this earlier - here's the link to the original post:

And now - also for our german speaking/reading readers - a totally new version, only for you ;-)
Our german collegues has re-written it for your region and here it is: Automatische Höhenzuweisung - Download
Please enjoy!
Another small thing that I know people have asked about is why the arrows presenting slope/grade doesn't follow scaling in the drawing. Well - sorry, you have to set the length of them under Style. There might be a reason for it - who knows ;-)
Sample below - horrible large arrows on my parking.

Change under Surface Style and Analysis. Set color and length etc.

Gives a nicer look - or at least I think my parking looks more nice...

Until next time - have a nice winter time!
Cheers / Ove
