Generate Contour dialog box
Use this dialog box to specify the settings for new contour lines for a
raster-based surface.
To create contour lines (page 1190)
In Display Manager (page 2060), right-click a surface layer, and select Create
Contour Layer
NOTE This functionality applies only to raster-based surface data brought into
AutoCAD Map 3D using Data Connect. You cannot create a surface from other
raster data.
The Contour dialog box has the following options:
New Contour Layer Name
Enter the name for the new Display Manager layer that will contain the
contour lines.
Contour Elevation Interval
Select the difference in elevation between contour lines, for example, 10,
20, or 50.
Units
Select the units (meters or feet) used to measure the elevation in your surface.
AutoCAD Map 3D attempts to get this data from the surface itself, but you
can change it.
Major Contour Every
Select the difference in elevation between major (bold) contour lines. For
example, if you select 5, every fifth contour line will be bolded.
Label the Elevation
Label the contour lines with the elevations they represent.
