Hi, I have a contour map including several contours.When I use "smoothing tool" in Gm on any contour. The contour is displace also break down, so the maps break down. is it possible vertices of line are smoothed and curved.
I sent a picture about that..Picture.jpg

    Hello, have you added feature request or it is impossible? so it is very important for contour maps

    Hello,

    We have an existing feature request (#12523) to maintain topology, so that contours do not overlap after a smoothing operation. Is that what you are referring to when you say that the maps "break down"?

    With the image, are you requesting that lines be smoothed using a spline or similar curve? This was requested in feature request #11527.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Yes bob it likes what you said, actually, there may be gridding methods different from triangulation like kriging, inverse distance..
