Exercise 2: Add a surface to view elevation data A surface is a raster file that contains elevation information. Use theming to make the surface reflect its elevation. NOTE This exercise uses the AnalyzeMap1.dwg map you created in the previous exercise. To add a surface to the map 1 Click Home tab - Autodesk 15606-011408-9005 | Tutorial - Page 213
NOTE The coordinate system for the DEM file is UTM27-10. AutoCAD Map 3D automatically converts the data from that coordinate system to the one specified for your map. 5 Click Add To Map. 6 Close the Data Connect window to see the surface in your map. To style the surface 1 In Display Manager, select - Autodesk 15606-011408-9005 | Tutorial - Page 214

Tutorial: Managing Data From Different Sources 7 About the Managing Data Tutorial An AutoCAD Map 3D map can contain many types of information, including DWG objects you query in from drawing files and features from multiple geospatial data sources: ■ Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and ArcSDE database - Autodesk 15606-011408-9005 | Tutorial - Page 256
for this purpose. In a schema, each feature class can serve the same purpose as a drawing layer. SDF is a proprietary Autodesk format. It supports a schema that can include multiple feature classes within a single file, the same way that a single drawing can include multiple drawing layers. In this - Autodesk 15606-011408-9005 | Tutorial - Page 257
file. Each layer in the drawing file becomes a feature class in the SDF file. when you export it. Use the Export dialog box to map each layer to a target feature class. You can also convert object data to geospatial attribute data. Once you set up the mapping, you can save your settings as a profile - Autodesk 15606-011408-9005 | Tutorial - Page 258
