Parameric terrain
Hello everyone,
Here is another component for FreeCAD. It is a parametric terrain with which you can generate a 3D terrain from contour lines of a 2D or 3D topographic survey, and the limits of the building's plateau, if applicable.
There is a linked spreadsheet that will calculate the volumes of cuts and fills, which allow you to simulate the best height and position of the plateau.
If you have a 2D drawing of the contour lines, you will need to raise them one by one to their final heights. It is also good practice to reduce the number of vertices or control points of the curves to improve recalculation in FC.
From there, follow the instructions posted on the Forum: https://forum.freecad.org/viewtopic.php?p=803014#p803014
The file is temporarily in a fork of the FC library: https://github.com/Francisco-Rosa/FreeCAD-library/tree/master/Topography
If you have any questions or suggestions, I am at your disposal.
