Summary

The GT_Stepped3DPoly command in GeoTools enables users to create 3D polylines with step-wise elevation changes, making it ideal for terrain modeling, roadway design, and civil engineering applications. This tool ensures that each segment of the polyline maintains a fixed elevation increment, allowing for precise grade control and stepped profiling.

Key Features Include:

Key Features:

• Creates stepped 3D polylines with controlled elevation increments.
• Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
• Allows users to define:
  • Step height (vertical elevation change per segment).
  • Segment length (horizontal distance for each step).
• Ideal for road grading, embankments, drainage planning, and terrain modeling.
• Useful for cut-and-fill analysis, stepped retaining walls, and slope designs.

Benefits:

With GT_Stepped3DPoly, users can easily generate structured, elevation-controlled 3D polylines, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in infrastructure and topographic design workflows.
