I'm importing terrain data from GIS software (QGIS) via contours saved into a DXF file.
HD Pro lets me import the contour lines, and recognizes them as elevation data for building the terrain. Great! However, those imported contour lines stay in the CAD, Default layer, which as a result gets quite cluttered up. (You can't just delete them, since they're needed as instructions whenever the terrain is rebuilt).
Any ideas how to mass move them to Terrain, Elevation data layer, which is where they belong? I can do it painstakingly one by one, choosing each contour line that's in CAD, Default; converting it to a plain polyline; and then converting that plain polyline back to an elevation polyline. It then ends up in the correct layer, but you have to do it one by one, since you need to manually re-enter the contour elevation during the conversion process. Looking for ideas how to do this all at once, preserving the contour height without retyping. Or is there some magic in the DXF import process to send them to a different layer than CAD, Default to begin with?
I think if I had Chief, I could just reassign layers of the imported elevation lines, but HD Pro doesn't allow over-riding layer assignments. I actually think this is a bit of a bug, in that the imported lines should go into Terrain, Elevation data automatically. But I wouldn't be the first who thinks something is a bug and is in fact missing an obvious way to do it right....
