3D terrain model of any place in Czechia - elevation data by the Czech Land Survey Office (CUZK) into Civil 3D.

On the Civil3D.cz blog you will find a useful tip describing how to easily and free of charge obtain a 3D terrain model of any place of the Czech Republic.

The 3D point data in the form of XYZ coordinates can be obtained from the dataset "Altimetry - DMR 5G". The 5th generation digital elevation model of the Czech Republic is provided by the Czech Geodetic and Cadastral Office (ÈUZK) and it is provided in the S-JTSK coordinates. These can be directly imported into the Autodesk Civil 3D software. The reported mean error in the elevation of these datapoints is 0.18 m in exposed terrain and 0.30 m in forested terrain.

The exact procedure and recommendations for generating the terrain surface can be found in the above blog or in the video demonstration of the procedure for generating terrain from CZ elevation points:
