Opening an example design file
This tutorial uses an example CAD design file that is included in the setup of TerraModeler. This example file has been provided by courtesy of Soil and Water Ltd, a company with expertise in many fields of civil engineering. The design file was created from an aerial photograph using TerraSurvey.
To open the example design file:
1. Select Open command from the File ribbon in MicroStation.
The Open Design File dialog opens.
2. Locate the MODEL.DGN file by browsing your computer’s directory structure.
If you installed TerraModeler in the default directory C:\TERRA64, you can find the design file in C:\TERRA64\EXAMPLE\MODEL.DGN.
3. Select MODEL.DGN and click OK.
After opening the design file, you can take a closer look at it. View 1 has been fitted to show all the elements in the design file. You can rotate this view or zoom in to see smaller details.
