Tip #13 | TOPOGRAPHIC WORKFLOW: GENERATING SURFACES

A surface is a 3D representation formed by consecutive triangles. This mesh helps us obtain topographic products such as volume calculations, profiles, Digital Terrain Models (DTM), and contour lines. In this tip, we will explore the ease in TRW for creating surfaces in different ways depending on the captured environment and its corresponding editing. Additionally, we will see how to generate optimized contour lines ready for export.
