Today’s tool is actually a “feature” of another tool. :)
When visualizing terrain information in InfraWorks 360, there are numerous options to refine exactly how it is displayed. (Elevation theme, transparency, draping an aerial photo, viewing it in 3D…)
I know what you are thinking, what about contours? If only there were a way to show contours. Well there is!!
Beginning in the 2017 version(s), there were some new objects created in InfraWorks that (as a feature of those objects) have the ability to display terrain contour lines.
As a result, we can now create a Parcel within InfraWorks over the area of a terrain we are interested in and then simply “turn on” the contour lines in that area.
Check out the video below to see how it works.

Hi Jeff
Are you able to export the contours out to say Civil 3D?

Hi Anthony, Yes, you could export the surface to an .IMX file and then import that into Civil 3D.
