Terrain Generation
TerrainCAD creates a terrain mesh from a set of unorganized survey
points, breaklines and contours. The
terrain mesh is created as a
Delaunay Triangulation,
which is regarded as the best method to create a terrain mesh from
unorganized point
data. TerrainCAD can also generate a terrain mesh directly
from contours only. Breaklines can be employed to give TerrainCAD
the intelligence to create superior terrain meshes that accurately resemble
the actual landscape to be recreated.
Terrain Editing
Often terrain meshes need to be manually edited for various reasons.
TerrainCAD makes this very easy by offering a host of terrain mesh
editing commands. TerrainCAD has very useful commands to edit
vertices, edges and faces of a terrain mesh. The terrain editing
commands are listed below: |
|
Vertex Editing
Commands |
|
|
Delete

the terrain mesh |
|

TerrainCAD also offers several mesh modeling commands. These
commands help in altering the general topology of the mesh thereby
making it suitable for further operations. The mesh modeling commands
are listed below:

Rotate |
Rotate
the terrain mesh about an axis |
|
Scale |
Scale
the terrain mesh |
|

single hole in the terrain mesh |
|
Fill
Holes |

|
Break Quads |

all quad faces to triangle faces |
|
Flip |
Flip
the face normals of the terrain mesh |
|
Face Upwards |

the terrain mesh face upwards |
|
Smooth |

a solid from the terrain mesh by giving it thickness |
|
The figures below show a terrain mesh created from a set of unordered
points using TerrainCAD.

Here is another example of
terrain mesh creation using
TerrainCAD. The points in this point set were extracted from the
contours of a hilly region.
