How to create a Long Section Puncture Plot in SURPAC Part 4

 

Blog Part 4 of 4 | SURPAC – How to color a DTM based on a Dfield and utilize this information to plot with puncture points.

This is the last part of the 4 part blog series “long section puncture plots”. In this final post, we will learn how to color a DTM based on a Dfield (in this case gram meters which is in D9), and use this information to plot with the puncture points created in the first blog.

 

STEP 1

Open up the dtm that was created in blog 3 for contouring. D9 contained the gram meter calculation, and the bin ranges for the contour where from 37.59 to 86.85 at intervals of 5

 

STEP 2

To color DTM by the D9 field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 3

Plot the colored dtm as a rasta image

 

 

 

 

 

 

STEP 4

Open up the simple puncture plot from the first blog in the series and adjust the text if need be and save.

 

 

 

STEP 5

Click back on the rasta plot and file>open. Open up the simple puncture plot you have just edited the text on and make sure you select append.
