The GT_CONTCLASS<\/strong> command in GeoTools<\/strong> allows users to classify and organize contour lines<\/strong> by elevation interval, making it a powerful tool for terrain analysis, topographic mapping, and GIS-based contour management<\/strong> in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Define up to five contour intervals<\/strong> (e.g., 2.0, 5.0, 10.0, 20.0, 50.0).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Assign each interval to a specific layer<\/strong> for structured organization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Layer-Based Contour Management:<\/strong>\n
\n
Assign contours to custom layers<\/strong> for better visualization and filtering.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Supports both Polyline objects and LDDT contour objects<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Applications in Terrain Analysis:<\/strong>\n
