Building vectorization / Model

Model category in Building vectorization folder defines design settings for drawing automatically created building models in the CAD file. See Chapter 3D Building Models for a detailed description of building vectorization options and tools in TerraScan.

Average elevations

Vertices in a building model are set to the same elevation if they are closer to each other than the given tolerance value. As a result, there is no elevation jump in a building model even if there is no exact intersection line but the elevation difference of vertices is smaller than the tolerance. In addition, roof patches may not be exactly planar shapes.

To enforce exact planarity for roof patches, set this value to 0.0. This may lead to vertices that are not exactly at the same XYZ location anymore although they are vertices of intersection lines.

Walls start

Distance between the ground level and the start of walls below the ground. Defines the elevation of the base polygon vertices.

Roof | Fill

Default outline and fill color of roof polygons. Click on the color button in order to change the color in the standard Windows Color dialog.

Walls | Fill

Default outline and fill color of wall polygons. Click on the color button in order to change the color in the standard Windows Color dialog.
