Hello Everybody,

Hopefully somebody can help me out with my problem.

I am trying to figure something out, I run Carlson SurvCadd XML. I use field to finish, and contouring for topo. I have my codelist for field to finish to use certain points as NOT to locate on real Z axis. But then when I go to contour they contour to these points.

How do i set these points up to not contour when I run the contour and triangulate??? Any help would be TREMENDOUSLY helpful, I have been racking my brain and searching for a long time now.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE

Use code NE - this code represents no elevation, a point with this special code is located at zero elevation.

Yeah, I know i can code in NE when i do the codes, but I am trying to avoid doing that, there has got to be some kind of a way you would think. Maybe not i am not sure??? I would have thought that unchecking the "Locate on real Z axis" would have done the trick, but it doesnt, I guess when we first started this, that we did not need to use NE and now it doesnt or something like that...anyways....Anybody have any other ideas?

Thank you for your input

Select non surface for the codes you wish to exclude from the contouring similarly you can chose the special code NOS in the field.

Don't select the points that you do not want to include.
-or-
Create a point group that contains only points that you do want to include and use that point group when you create the surface.

Awesome, thanks a lot

You guys are awesome, thank you for quick response!!!
