Super helpful! Although when I got to sample 4, I also used contours that were continuous (not closed) but when I imputed the Patch Command, the only thing that patched was the one with the closed curves, Any solutions regarding this?
Hi Dylan. Thank you for a very helpful tutorial! Is there any command or easy way to distribute the contour lines in Rhino other than the manual method you are using here? I have a very complex landscape with 2D contours and I am foreseeing hours and hours of work if I need to lift them manually. Best regards, L
Great Vid mate, Im relatively new to rhino and learningRhinot atm. Can I ask is there a simple way to take those contours generated in the final option turn them into a stepped model like the 3rd option you show, or would you need to manually close them before extruding?
I don't know of any faster way of closing the curves. You would have to copy a rectangular line for each contour and then use the trim tool to cut away the unwanted section.
its what i did in the end, although its worth noting you can select all the lines and then trim with a fence which i wasnt expecting so didnt take anywhere near as long as id anticipated. I had well over a hundred contours but turns out you can extrude/cap them all at the same time as well which i wasnt expecting
what to do if the central contour is of least elevation? And how come yours is creating a top surface but mine is through and through? sorry, new with this software, Architecture 2nd year Student, Delhi.

Thank you for this vid, very informative.
Awesome tutorial!! But drawing the lines are very tedious.
Is there a faster way to lift the contour lines to their height, rather than typing in each one, one at a time?
find a boyfriend and let him do it for you
