Release 6 of ‘Spatial Manager’ (CAD versions) featured a set of functions designed in order to create Terrains, Contours, 3D Points, etc. from 3D data in the drawing or from elevation servers. Although this version already included the ability to project any Background Map over the Terrains, the latest version released a few days ago adds the option to also project any raster image in the drawing
