Introduction

Overview

Solids modelling allows you to use triangulation to create three-dimensional models based on digital terrain models (DTMs) and string files. This tutorial introduces the theory behind the solids modelling process and provides detailed examples using the solids modelling functions in Surpac. By working through this tutorial, you will gain skills in the construction, use of, and modification of solids models.

Requirements

Before you begin this tutorial, you must have:

• basic knowledge of Surpac

It is recommended that you understand the procedures and concepts from the Introduction to Surpac manual. The DTM Surfaces tutorial may also be helpful in helping you understand some of the concepts in this tutorial.

• Surpac installed on your computer
• the data set accompanying this tutorial
