Exporting Contours

Contours can be generated from a TIN surface at specified intervals. The contours are saved to one of the three following file formats: shapefiles, DXF, or DGN. Contours are stored as 3D polylines for DXF and DGN file formats. You have a choice to save polylines as 3D or 2D when exporting to shapefiles, where…
