Assign Contour Elevations Automatically (Text->Contour Polyline): GT_ASS_EL_AUTO – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_ASS_EL_AUTO command in GeoTools automatically assigns elevation values to contour polylines by extracting numeric values from nearby elevation text objects in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Assign contour elevations automatically (text->contour polyline) Assign Contour Elevations Automatically (Text->Contour Polyline): GT_ASS_EL_AUTO – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool simplifies contour mapping and topographic modeling, ensuring accurate and efficient elevation assignments for contour polylines.

Automatically Assign Contour Elevations: GT_ASS_EL – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_ASS_EL command in GeoTools is an intelligent elevation assignment tool designed for topographic mapping, civil engineering, and GIS workflows. It enables users to automatically assign elevations to contour polylines that currently lack elevation data. By selecting a reference contour and specifying a contour interval, this command assigns elevations to all subsequent contours, ensuring an accurate and structured elevation model. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Automatically Assign contour elevations Automatically Assign Contour Elevations: GT_ASS_EL – GeoTools Command Automatically Assign Contour Elevations: GT_ASS_EL – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_ASS_EL, users can quickly convert 2D contour drawings into accurate 3D terrain models, enhancing design precision and topographical analysis.

Assign Properties: GT_ASN_PROP – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_ASN_PROP command in GeoTools allows users to assign elevation or thickness properties to selected points, polylines, lines, shapes, blocks, or circles by inheriting values from nearby text objects or block attributes in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Assign Properties Assign Properties: GT_ASN_PROP – GeoTools Command Assign Properties: GT_ASN_PROP – GeoTools Command Assign Properties: GT_ASN_PROP – GeoTools Command Key Features Include: Key Features & Functionality: Benefits: This tool is particularly useful for surveying, GIS mapping, and CAD modeling, where properties such as elevation or thickness need to be efficiently assigned to geometry.

Scale Z Values: GT_SCALE_Z – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_SCALE_Z command in GeoTools updates 2D polylines, 3D polylines, and 3D faces by scaling the Z-values of each vertex using a specified factor in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Scale Z values Key Features Include: Benefits: This tool is essential for terrain modeling, elevation adjustments, and CAD-based 3D transformations, providing precise control over vertical scaling in drawings.

Polyface mesh to Polylines: GT_PFACE2PL – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_PFACE2PL command in GeoTools allows users to extract and convert the edges of a polyface mesh into polylines, making it easier to work with and modify mesh-based models in a 2D or 3D CAD environment. This tool is particularly useful for terrain modeling, architectural design, and mesh-to-vector conversions, where the underlying structure of a polyface mesh needs to be represented as polylines. GeoTool -> Conversion Tools -> Conversion Tools -> Polyface mesh to polylines Key Features Include: Benefits: With GT_PFACE2PL, users can efficiently extract polyline representations from polyface meshes, improving design flexibility and CAD workflow integration.

3DFaces to polyface mesh: GT_3DF2PFACE – GeoTools Command

Summary The GT_3DF2PFACE command in GeoTools allows users to convert multiple 3D faces into a unified polyface mesh, making it easier to manage and manipulate complex 3D surface models. This tool is particularly useful in terrain modeling, architectural design, and 3D visualization, where a structured polyface mesh is preferable over separate 3D faces.
