- Leveraging Autodesk Raster Design to prepare images
-
If you do not obtain your surface image from Google Earth, you can use Autodesk Raster Design to prepare images from other sources. Using Raster Design, you can: * combine multiple images into a single image. * convert images to a format (such as BMP, DIB, GIF, JPG, PCX, PNG, RLE, TGA, or TIF) that is suitable for use as a render material. * orient and scale an image appropriately for a drawing.

- Profile and Section Views
-
To minimize processing time, design your profile and section views on grids that use styles without excess detail. Some examples are as follows: 1. Turn off the minor grid lines and ticks; 2. Expand the scale of the major grid; 3. Avoid using clipped grid options; 4. Keep label text very short. Where necessary, include any of these elements in more detailed styles that you apply to the profile and section views for final production, but minimal display styles can serve you well through many iterations in the design phase.
