Summary
The GT_COPYSURFACE command in GeoTools allows users to copy an existing TIN (Triangulated Irregular Network) surface, preserving its geometry and elevation data for further modifications or analysis. This tool is particularly useful in terrain modeling, civil engineering, and GIS workflows, where duplicating a surface can assist in design iterations, comparison studies, and data backup.
GeoTool -> Civil Tools -> Surfaces -> Copy a TIN surface
Key Features Include:
- Creates an exact copy of a TIN surface, including all elevation data.
- Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
- Useful for terrain modeling, land development, and site grading applications.
- Preserves the triangulated mesh structure of the original surface.
- Helps in design variations, analysis, and backup of terrain data.
Benefits:
With GT_COPYSURFACE, users can efficiently duplicate TIN surfaces, ensuring flexibility in terrain analysis, modification, and CAD-based 3D modeling workflows.
