I hope I got your question right, scaling is just for your output drawing, so you can do it as per your standard. In my case i used to scale the "y" axis to suit my presentation. If the terrain is almost flat I do a vertical exageration from 2 to 10 times. But remember (always) the distance between two points is always the "horizontal measurements between them. ]]> Mon, 11 Apr 2011 18:14:35 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5570&PID=14701&title=scaling-in-civil-3d-2011#14701 <![CDATA[Scaling in Civil 3D 2011 : Hello, I am new here, so excuse...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5570&PID=14346&title=scaling-in-civil-3d-2011#14346 Author: Seth

Hello,

I am new here, so excuse me if this question is too direct. I am surveyor and I have measured profile of sea bottom near beach by boat. To be precise I have measured it with Stratabox. I have picture in jpg format and turned it into block into Civil 3d. So i have to scale it and i don't know how. On y axis i have scale to compare scaling with, and on x axis i have coordinates to calculate real distance. Only thing i don't know is command and process of scaling. So i would preciate if someone could help me with this issue. thank you.
