Feature Type definitions:

  • Intermediate Contour – Representing an imaginary line on the ground joining points of equal elevation above the Australian Height Datum, showing increasing and decreasing elevation values at 5 metre intervals.

  • Index Contour – Being every fifth “Intermediate Contour” – classified as Feature Type “Index Contour”. The elevation values are divisible by 25.

 

Upper scale:

  • 1:25 000 – all data

Capture process:

INTERMEDIATE CONTOUR

 

Definition: Representing an imaginary line on the ground joining points of equal elevation above the Australian Height Datum, showing increasing and decreasing elevation values at 5 metre intervals.

 

Alternate Terms: Basic Contour

 

 

  • Capture as a 2D polyline

  • Capture with a contour interval of 5 metre

  • Auto-generate from a digital terrain model captured using LiDAR technology.

 

 

INDEX CONTOUR

 

Definition: Being every fifth “Intermediate Contour” – classified as Feature Type “Index Contour”. The elevation values are divisible by 25.

 

Alternate Terms: Major Contour

 

 

  • Capture as a 2D polyline

  • Capture with a contour interval of 5 metre

  • Auto-generate from a digital terrain model captured using LiDAR technology.

  • Being every fifth “Intermediate Contour” – classified as Feature Type “Index Contour”. The elevation values are divisible by 25
