From Elements

Used to create a terrain model from 3D graphical elements that is ruled.

You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Terrain > Create

Ruled Terrains update dynamically if the source elements are changed. Each element or group of elements of a terrain feature type can be selected individually or via selection set. This tool is useful if the elements do not have consistency symbology or attributes (where the Create From Graphical Filter Group tool may be a better option). After the terrain model is created from the first grouping of elements, the software prompts to append another terrain feature (by defining another selection set of elements) or to create another terrain model. The models are named Terrain Model (Element), Terrain Model (Element) 1, etcetera.
