Hey guys, I've been using Autodesk3dsmax for a while now (though nothing advanced, basic modeling and rendering) but I've never used 3dsmax to make a contour model or anything of the sort (usually when i make a context/base for models i just use a plane and edit the vertexes to make a more believable ground plane) and so I need a bit of help on something I'm doing right now. So basically I have to make a 3d model of a quarry for my studies, and I've read a bit of the contour modeling tutorial, the problem is that what I have looks nothing like what the tutorial says I SHOULD have. I'll just explain my attachments a bit 1. CAD drawing of quarry contours 2. Imported CAD drawing 3. Contours after using the terrain command 4. Solid view 5. Rendered view - because I don't know whats wrong with it >. 6-9. Close up of my CAD drawing - it doesnt actually form a closed shape within itself - is that the problem? The lines all finish at a common point though.... Help would be greatly appreciated (: Nanda D Mt Leura Quarry 3D model reference (2).dwg Larger context plan 1-5000.dwg
