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.
Thanks. Thaat worked out. Learn something new everyday.
