Import/Export Surface Analysis
The app exports surface analysis and corresponding properties to text by selecting the export analysis type and a surface with that type of analysis applied to it. Then, as needed it will import a selected text file (previously exported) and apply it to a new surface with the exported analysis information. It also has built in option to verify the style has been created correctly for viewing the analysis – alleviating the user from wondering why an analysis may not be appearing.
The app handles 6 different surface analysis types; Contour, Directional, Elevation, Slope, Slope Arrows, and User Contours. Installing the app provides separate Import and Export commands for each analysis type, housed under one drop down ribbon button.
Supports all color types on Export and Import: Autodesk® AutoCAD® ACI Colors, True Colors, and Color Books.
