Capture Contour - Overview


Automatic Contour Creation
Capture Contour automatically creates contour lines from DTM (Digital Terrain Modeling) or XYZ mass points. Capture Contour allows automatic contour generation from within DAT/EM Capture for AutoCAD®, DAT/EM Capture for MicroStation®, or DAT/EM STEREO CAPTURE for ArcGIS®, which are DAT/EM's popular 3D feature collection packages.

Any DTM point data, whether produced manually or automatically, is seamlessly used by Capture Contour to produce contour lines in either the MicroStation DGN format, AutoCAD DWG format, or ArcGIS shapefiles or feature classes. Capture Contour was specifically designed to work with INPHO's SCOP contour generation module. Capture Contour is capable of receiving input from INPHO's MATCH-T autocorrelation program.

Capture Contour is a joint product development by DAT/EM Systems International and INPHO GmbH, members of the GeoToolBox alliance, www.geotoolbox.com.
