Terrain Design from Contour Maps
Three-dimensional terrain is a very integral part of conceptualizing a project's final product. Almost every construction project requiring a building permit will also require accurate contour maps. These maps can be rendered into actual 3D terrain, modeling the exact shape of the land involved. Once the terrain is generated, the building and other objects can be placed into the Virtual World, facilitating landscape design, sun and shadow studies, water swale design, retaining wall design, driveway and walkway visualizations, and much more. Master Sketch 3D can also get an accurate "grab" of any geographical location using public satellite data and produce accurate contour maps and scalable, accurate 3D terrains.
