In Kubla Cubed it is possible to define an existing surface with triangles rather than with contour lines, points and break-lines. Typically you would do this if you had used another piece of software to define a TIN surface already and don’t want to have to define the surface again in Kubla Cubed. You can also export TINs of any phase of Kubla Cubed to define as an existing surface of a new project. This allows you to break up very large projects or to compare different options in different projects.
With this approach you first add a Triangle Surface rather than a Feature Surface
Triangle surfaces can be imported either from a TIN defined in a LandXML file (.xml) or a polyface mesh defined in a CAD file (.dwg, .dxf).
