Title: Possible to convert Volume Surface to Tin Surface?
Post by: nobody on August 11, 2015, 12:50:22 AM: Is there a simple way to convert a volume surface to a tin surface?

Post by: cadtag on August 11, 2015, 07:49:19 AM: export to landxml, and then import?

But yes, export LandXML and import to surface collection.

Post by: nobody on August 18, 2015, 01:33:34 AM: Hey MJ... the idea is to present color themed cut / fill quantities, but I'm unable to apply them to volume surfaces through .net; I need the surface to be a tin or grid surface to apply the elevation analysis and the proper colors... at least in the way I know how.

why would you not use the onboard analysis tools to do this theming? We do it here for different contractors.
What extra function or value does your DOT......Nyet solution give you?

Why is it not possible to do this via .Net? I wrote a custom Color Scheme editor and am able to apply the themes to Tin Surfaces as well to Tin Volume Surfaces.
