NOTE :

• For this exercise, you can download the file specific to the exercise, with the initial parameters, available in the " Downloads " section of the website;

• At the end, you need to bake into the Rhino the items marked in purple to a proper layer.

  • For example: "Profiles X", "Profiles Y", and "FINAL Terrain"

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.

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