Command line: CE_MESHEXPLORER

 

Command line prompts:

 

Select 3D polylines:

 

CAD-Earth version: Premium.

 

Command description:

 

Create a terrain mesh selecting 3D polylines in the drawing, defining properties such as name, description, color, layer, visualization mode and linear units.

 

Dialog box settings:

 

 

ØMesh properties. 

Name.  Enter text to identify the mesh. Must not contain the following characters: | * : ; > < ? , = ` \

Description. Enter additional information about the mesh (optional).

Color. Select the color for the mesh lines and points.

Layer. Select the layer where the mesh will be created.

Visualization mode. The mesh can be displayed in any of the following visualization modes:

TIN: Mesh triangles with continuous lines.

Points: Mesh vertices will be shown as simple points with no size.

Boundary & Points: Triangle sides that are not adjoined to another triangle will be shown. Internal vertices will be displayed as simple points with no size.

Boundary Only: Only triangle sides that are not adjoined to another triangle will be shown, creating one or several outlines.

Linear units. The distance unit selected will define the mesh scale factor. If the required unit is not included in the list, you can select 'Custom' at the end of the list to define a unit conversion factor.

Linear unit to m factor.  The units of measure used by CAD-Earth are meters, which are converted to the unit selected using this factor to display distance, area  and volume calculations.

Minimum triangle internal angle. (Decimal degrees) Triangles that have a vertex with an internal angle less or equal to the value specified, will be removed.

Maximum triangle side length. (Drawing units) Triangles that have a side equal or greater than the value specified, will be removed.

Delete selected objects. 3D faces selected will be deleted if this options is checked.

 

 

 

Tips:

 

The polylines must be heavyweight polylines. You can draw 3D polylines using the 3DPOLY AutoCAD command.
