Ladd & Lon (Lat & Lon) ~ coincidence, I don't think so.

Both men have been ever so helpful today as usual.

New question, how do I list these 3D polylines in a way that I can quickly identify those that are at the 100 elevation range and those that are in the 700 elevation range?

So far I have one by one flagged those red that are at the 700 range, I just want to make sure I haven't forgotten some before I try to re-run contouring.

in plain acad i should switch to a front view,
now you can select all lines within your elevation range,
give them another (temporary) color
switch back to top/plan view to locate them there ...

Another option from Ladd via email

Hi Brad,

You can also use the Edit -- Selection Sets -- Select by Elevation:

Select by greater, less or between elevations [/Less/Between]?

This builds a selection set that can be acted upon (via the Previous selection option) by a subsequent command:

Command: chgelev
Type of elevation change [/Differential/Scale]: d
Positive number increases, negative number decreases elevation.
Elevation Difference : 600
Ignore zero elevations [Yes/]? y
Change Layer for changed entities [Yes/]:
Select Entities for Elevation Change.
FILter/: p

Cordially,

Ladd Nelson

What Is The 700 Doing In There In The First Place ?

What kind of field data is that?
