I am a new GRASS user trying to bring a DXF (Autocad) file into GRASS. The
DXF file has elevation values associated with the points as well as an
entity type 3DLINE. According to the reference manual Grass only
recognizes points, lines, polylines and text in DXF format (v.in.dxf). My
objective is to view the image as 3-d. I can manipulate the file to get
Grass to display the image, but it is flat. I have looked at d.3d in
Grass, but I lack a raster map with elevation category values.
Question:
1. Does anyone have a newer v.in.dxf program that will accept and store
elevation values for later use.?
2. Does anyone have any ideas on how to relate the elevation values
from the DXF file to a grass vector or raster image?
Thanks.
