- Hello again,
Sorry I have been a bit quite... There is a lot coming up soon, which has been my focus for some time ;-)
Here in Sweden I can actually say now that it is not "pitch black" anymore in the morning when I head for office or airport. Nice! Spring will be here within a month, finally... one day with snow this "winter" in Gothenburg. Too bad.
Below I want to mention a way to handle Survey Points stored in Point Groups.
When I import a Survey .FBK and sort the Points in to several Point Groups I might want to use some Point Groups for my creation of a TIN, but not all.
As I have several Point Groups in the drawing I have to pick which one to be used for my Surface.
Include Point Groups for the Surface.
Selecting which Groups to get there. Imagine selecting ten, thirty or more Point Groups - not great...
Instead - create a separate Point Group first.
Call it "TIN", "TIN data" or something.
Under the Tab "Point Groups" you can select the Point Groups that will go in to this "major" Point Group.
Then it is much easier to select only one Point Group for the Surface.
Have a nice weekend! Cheers / Ove
