In this session we looked at importing a survey file and using the survey data to prepare for creating a Site model.
When you import a survey drawing, it is important to know what you are importing and why you are importing it. A PDF will give you different options from a DXF/DWG file, so you have to choose your importing file carefully. Once you have your import, what do you have to do to prepare the file for creating a site model?
