NOTES:

• For this exercise, you need to download the file available in the "Downloads" section of the website.

• For this exercise, you need to install the plugins "EleFront", "LunchBox", "Human" e "PanelingTools", through the command 'PackageManager' within Rhino.

Based on the data provided in the Project 4 module, we demonstrate the digital modelling process of the terrain at Moinho do Penedo, Ajuda, Lisbon.

The method involves using altimetric points, segmenting contour lines, and generating a point cloud, which ultimately results in a Delaunay mesh.

This approach enables a precise digital representation of the terrain, which is essential for the analysis and development of architectural and urban projects.
