Calculate contours Calculate contoursCalculating the contour lines from the triangle net or from selected triangles using a given contour interval.
The lower and upper limit default values are the minimum and maximum contours, calculated from the whole triangle net. Contours are calculated from the active model, if no model is active, the last model in element list is used.
Height difference between the contour lines. When you change this value, the lower and upper limits are checked automatically.
The initial values are given by default, and calculated from the model’s lowest/highest values and rounded up/down to the value given in interval. The initial values are updated every time the interval is changed.
All contours get absolute height value.
Smoothing the contour lines automatically after the calculation. The smoothing function rounds off any acute angles.
Number of smoothing rounds to be performed.
If a line (the space between two points) is below this value, the angle will not be smoothed.
If an angle is below this value, the angle will not be smoothed.
Contour move factor in corners. Value 0.0 cuts inside and value 1.0 goes through original top point. Detailed description can be found in separate smoothing function.
Automatic coding of the contour lines.
There are some special settings related to this function.
List of contour interval values to be shown in the list.
