Define height line

Workshop

1. Start the terrain function.
   
2. For the sake of clarity, we recommend temporarily switching off the depiction of height lines and the slope.
   
   
3. Select the function NEW HEIGHT LINE.
   
   Create the height lines one after the other as shown in the sketch.
4. In the property bar, enter the value -250 for the height (z). Watch for the adjusted units, because the unit for the terrain is configurable in the terrain parameters.
   
   
5. Draw the first height line by tracing the template (Line 1). You do not need to set very many points because the curves are interpolated following termination.
   
   
6. To finish the height line, select the function NURBS END or Enter.
   
   
7. Start the second height line with NURBS BEGIN and enter the height -50 for the Z value.
   
   
8. Draw the second height line by tracing the template (Line 2).
9. End the second height line with the function NURBS END or Enter.
   
   
10. Next, draw the 3rd and 4th height line in exactly the same way as you drew the first two. Ensure that you enter the correct heights.
11. Now switch to the solid model Ctrl+D and check your entries.
    
    
12. Cancel function Esc, save work copy Ctrl+W
    Tip

    To change the height of a height line later on, click on the nurbs curve to open the property bar. There you can change the value of the height or you can remove a height line using the function DELETE CURVE.
