TerraModeler User Guide

Tutorial

Not Spatix

This tutorial introduces some basic concepts and terminology used by TerraModeler. With the help of an example Bentley CAD design file, you are guided through a number of exercises using some of the features in the software. The tutorial assumes that you are already familiar with basic viewing and drawing tools in Bentley CAD tools.
This tutorial has been prepared with Bentley MicroStation. The tutorial can be run on other CAD platforms but some CAD platform tools used might be named differently. For the sake of clarity, this tutorial mentions when a tool used is a Bentley MicroStation tool.
