Has anyone faded out contours before?
Getting a client an existing topography before I get into grading for proposed home. I removed the contour border but still feel like the contours come to an abrupt stop. Obviously this is only really for aesthetics given there are no spot elevations outside of the topography extents. Has anyone successfully faded contours out. All I can think of is duplicating the surface and layering it, then clipping one surface to end earlier etc. It’s just a very irregular shape given the home is damn near in a canyon lol. Am I overthinking this?
Also has anyone ever used Lidar data. It seems great and can be accurate at Q0 but isn’t it kinda pointless? Would anyone ever create a grading plan based off lidar. Looking to implement lidar but I feel like it’s only use is for estimating elevations for places where a human can’t go like on top of a large hillside.
