Generate boundary from contour lines
« on: January 21, 2016, 02:46:19 PM »
Does anyone know of a way to "shrinkwrap" a dwg of topo lines (from an aerial survey) to generate a tight boundary? Shrinkwraplinework doesn't do it. We eventually generate a surface, but need the boundary to clip to.
Any direction would be appreciated.

After all thee years, I still have not found a good solution to this problem, so I thought I'd give this thread a bump.
Given a selection set of open ended plines (contour lines), how might I get an outer boundary? I'm at a loss for where to start.

Thanks

Thanks Lee, I had missed that one.
Seems like this is a much more complex problem than I had imagined.

There is a commercial package out there it has a cost but looks very promising. Will try to find it again.
