Description

In this Archicad tutorial you'll learn how to build a 3D Digital Terrain Model (DTM) from contour lines using Archicad and DXF files from TopoExport.com your go to platform for precise topographic data and vector layers.

This step-by-step guide covers:
Importing DXF contour lines into Archicad
Adjusting layer visibility and working units
Using the Mesh Tool to convert 2D contours into a 3D model
Assigning elevations to each contour line for accurate terrain modeling

Ideal for architects urban planners and landscape designers who want to integrate real-world topography into their BIM workflow.
