How to find elevation values of points those are not surveyed or of new points directly added into a project using AutoPlotter?

When points are imported into AutoPlotter, DTM surface is created. Using this surface, it is possible to obtain elevation value for any point on or near the surface. To know the elevation values, Analyze DTM points option under DTM menu is used. Northing and Easting of the points for which elevation is to be generated, can be given in multiple ways.

i.                     By selecting the points from editor

ii.                   By selecting the polyline from editor

iii.                 Directly by entering the values of X & Y in the sheet

After X & Y values are entered, Z value is generated based on its position. If the point lies within the surface, elevation value is interpolated and if the point lies outside the surface, nearby elevation value is displayed.

Step 1: Select Analyze DTM points under DTM menu

Step 2: Pick the points using any of the methods described above. Points / polyline buttons are provided on top, click on the required button as per your data and select the entities. Or specify the X and Y values in the respective fields manually

Step3: Click on calculate which is located on the top left side
