STEP 03 - Elevate
The Smart Elevate command fulfills Step 04 of the Takeoff and Modeling Process
Step 1 - PDF Management (PDF Manager Command)
Step 2 - Cleanup and Edit (Smart Edit Command)
Step 3 - Digitize / Draw / Create (Takeoff Lines Command)
Step 4 - Elevate (Adjust Linestring Elevation = Smart Elevate Command)
Step 5 - Model (TBC and RPS Commands)
Step 6 - Takeoff (TBC and RPS Commands)
Step 7 - Reports and Drawing Deliverables (TBC and RPS Commands)
Step 8 - Data Export and Data Management for Field Operations (TBC Commands)
The Smart Elevate command is one of the “Big 5” commands in the RPS Command Library and a foundational command in the RPS Smart Suite concept.

Command Overview
The Smart Elevate command provides the ability to elevate and adjust the elevations of lines of different types (Pads, Contours, 3D Variable Height Lines) in a variety of ways
- Absolute Elevation - Elevate lines +/- adjustments over station ranges
- At Intersection - Elevate lines using Intersecting 3D lines
- Contour - Elevate contour lines in sequence by single elevation or by crossing
- Delta - Adjust elevations of lines by a Delta elevation +/- adjustments over station ranges
- Model / Surface - Elevate lines to a surface elevation +/- a delta elevation to the surface model selected. Elevate vertices and optionally at surface triangle sides. Elevate curved sections at uniform intervals through the curve for better finished grade models
- Pads - Elevate pads using entered elevations or text values within the building pads +/- offsets and vertical adjustments
- Plane - Elevate lines to planes defined by 3 point locations for curb and gutter returns
- Simple - Elevate lines to absolute elevation, to a delta elevation, to a surface elevation +/- a delta value or set the lines to undefined elevation.
- Spot - Elevate lines using spot elevations defined as 3D nodes or VPIs. Use Elevation formula to reduce manual data entry.
