I am having a problem exporting a SVD file that shows contours. I am new atmachine control modeling and most of the time i just export the TTM file. This client is requesting a SVD file. I have exported but when the operator loads it into his machine he gets no contours. I am using TBC-HCE edition. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Check ON the Design Contours box.

(Mine is under the Objects tab in the Display Options menu.)

I am not seeing Design Contour Box to be checked. Seems to be when i export the surface the contours that were created from teh surface are not tagging along. Is there anyway to just export contours as a SVD file?

The SVD file is a surface, like a TIN. (your TTM file)

You want to create a SVL file with your SVD file for the contours.

To do this make a DXF file of the contours in CAD,

then in TBC, when importing your TTM file, also import this DXF file.

You should get both out, a .SVD and a .SVL file, put both of those together in the same import directory for the dozer.
