In this session we looked at getting started with the project, based on information that had been measured on-site. In the situation the information was not imported from a survey, it was actually measured by the people in the office when they visited the site. The methods of measuring were a theodolite and a tape measure. This is enough information to give the heights in the setting out from known points on the site.
Topics covered:
- importing a PDF file
- Drawing a property line
- Using the line tool to draw a single boundary, using survey data
- scaling and imported image or PDF file to match unknown property length
- using the rotated plan to keep the house orthogonal, with the site still at the correct angle
- tracing over an imported image to create a property line
- placing stake objects to create a site model
- placing objects on the site based on side measurements (triangulating measurements)
- using guides to hide the setting out information
- creating the site model from stake objects
- editing the source data for the site model
- creating texture beds
- assigning textures to texture beds
- assigning a texture to a site model
- overlapping texture beds
