Advanced Modelling_ terrain + arrays

GIS viewer 

print out site for sketching on - Bitmap(pixel image) Go to globe > print or copy map > print scale as...  > map size a4 a3 > portrait or landscape > print to pdf (make sure to turn off pop up block)

extracting data > autocad dxf > tick CRS parcel (boundary/ property line) > tick contours


Rhino 

Doc Setup > Options (gear icon) > in document properties- grid extents 1000> minor 1.0 > major lines every 10

Importing > make sure file types (all) are available

Moving imported stuff to the grid > ctr A > move tool > point to move from click center > point to move to = 0 > re-align viewpoint
