UAS Collected DTM Deliverables to an Engineer
I’m working on my first UAS topo project for an engineer that I’m pretty sure uses Civil3D. I’m fairly certain on how I am going to proceed with the project. However, I’m not quite sure how to handle the deliverable of the DTM to the engineer. I’m using Global Mapper to generate the surface and while it can produce a TIN based on my point cloud which can be output to LandXML to go into Civil3D, a TIN file with hundreds of millions of points would be massive and probably hard to handle on the engineer’s end. Ideally, it appears that point cloud data is better put into a raster grid DEM format sampled at a desired grid spacing. Can Civil3d take that kind of non-vector elevation data for an engineer to use? Anybody have experience with this kind of thing? Thanks
