data preparation

The process of changing design data depicting the final grade into intermediate surfaces and objects required to construct the final design. Typical steps include:

  • Importing, digitizing, or creating necessary data
  • Organizing the data by layer
  • Remove unneeded data and layers from your project
  • Transforming the data by moving, rotation, scaling, copying, offsetting, and elevation objects
  • Creating and editing surfaces based on the data
