Summary
The GT_READDEM command in GeoTools enables users to import and process ARC ASCII DEM (Digital Elevation Model) files, allowing seamless integration of terrain elevation data into CAD drawings. This tool is particularly useful for topographic mapping, civil engineering, and GIS applications, where accurate 3D elevation data is required for analysis and design.
GeoTool -> Export Tools -> Export Tools -> Import-read ARC ASCII DEM files
Key Features Include:
- Imports ARC ASCII DEM files and converts them into usable elevation data in CAD.
- Works seamlessly in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander.
- Supports terrain modeling, GIS mapping, and elevation analysis.
- Converts DEM grid data into CAD-compatible entities, such as points, polylines, or meshes.
- Ideal for surveying, environmental modeling, and infrastructure planning.
Benefits:
With GT_READDEM, users can directly integrate DEM-based elevation models into their CAD environment, streamlining terrain analysis and 3D visualization workflows.
