Understanding Custom Planimetric Symbols

Planimetric symbols refer to the symbols used on maps and plans to denote various features in a plan view (top-down view). These symbols are used to represent real-world features on a flat, two-dimensional plane. Planimetric symbols are important in cartography, land-use planning, architecture, and many other fields where spatial representation is essential.

• CONCRETE BOTTOM

Adding Custom Symbols

Select "Custom Symbols" add-on to apply your own symbols to the ROCK Planimetric deliverable.

When ordering ROCK Planimetrics you can add your own custom symbols to the deliverable by doing two things:

1. Download the ROCK Robotic Planimetric Template File:

• ROCK_Robotic_Planimetrics_Template.dwg
  
• ROCK_Robotic_Planimetrics_Template.dgn
  
• ROCK_Robotic_Planimetrics_Template.dxf
  
  

2. Update the template file to include your symbols / colors for the supported layer names.

If you need additional / different layers, contact [email protected] for a custom quote. 

3. Upload the customized dwg, dgn, dxf file(s) to your project data before ordering ROCK Planimetrics.

4. Select the "Custom Symbols" add-on when ordering ROCK Planimetrics.
