Exercise 3: Draping an Image on a Surface In this exercise, you will drape an image onto a surface, creating a render material from the image. First, you will review a surface style to learn about some common settings that provide an acceptable view of the draped image on the surface. When you drape an image on a surface, the image is applied to the surface as a render material. However, it is not evident that you have applied a render material when you view the surface in plan view. The surface style must be set up to view the surface in model. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Draping Images On Surfaces. This exercise continues from Exercise 2: Importing a Google Earth Image (page 121). Examine the surface style NOTE This exercise uses Surface-8.dwg with the modifications you made in the previous exercise. 1 In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, under the drawing name, expand the Surfaces collection. Right-click Aerial Mapping. Click Edit Surface Style. In the Surface Style dialog box, on the Display tab, examine the current surface style, 5' Contours. Notice that the style displays the surface border and major and minor contours when the surface is viewed in plan view. 2 From the View Direction list, select Model. Notice that the surface style is set to display only triangles when the surface is viewed in model view. 3 Click the Triangles tab. Notice that the Triangle Display Mode is set to Exaggerate Elevation and the Exaggerate Triangles By Scale Factor is set to 3.000. These settings specify that when the surface is displayed in model view, the triangle elevations are exaggerated by a factor of three. The exaggeration makes the variations of the surface more obvious than if the surface was not exaggerated. 4 Click Cancel. 124 | Chapter 5 Surfaces Tutorials
