i have 3 contiguous lots approx. 125' x 250'. each lot has a home, driveway, sidewalks and pool areas.
there is about a 12' drop in elevation from the street level to the rear of the lots abutting a stream.
the lots are a mixture of lawn and wooded areas, so a regular grid was not possible. we have a good many random shots
with several swales located.
what would be the best approach to build a surface that includes all three lots. there is a lawsuit involved and we need to
have a finished contour map of the property.
should i build the surface with all points, then create feature lines and sue them as breaklines or should i create the breaklines first and add the data after that.
and somehow i'm guessing i need to take out the area where the houses and pools are.
any suggestions and/or ideas would be greatly appreciated as i have not done a project like this one before.
