View Full Version : Topo to Floor?

I've got a concrete pool deck/patio area on top of a 6 story concrete structure. I'm trying to model the deck, which was designed by the Landscape Architect, and like any deck it isn't really planar - we've got edges not parallel, drainage issues, etc. The landscape architect designed it by spot elevations, and in the field it will work - they'll just place the slab thicker and thinner as needed. In my fantasy world, I could just plug in the points into a topo, and click 'Topo to Floor' and ouila! Then I'd hop into my fantasy jet and fly to Switzerland for the afternoon to ski.

I don't think its worth trying to build a mass object and deal with all the blends - if there isn't a fairly easy way to do it, we'll just fake it in the views.

Any advice?

Thanks

CURRENTLY, the best way to do it is with an inplace mass.
