Hi, I downloaded street edge file from GIS to CAD, but it's flat, and does not have height associated with it. Is there a way to drape the street edge lines onto toposurface so that the street edges would be visible in the ground floor plan? At this point, I'm not worried about curves, I just want to show where the street is on the topo.

Thanks always for your help!

Not sure if this is the best way to do this or not, but here's a theory:  try and load your linework from GIS and then in a plan view, break up the topography with the Split Surface (if that doesn't work, try the Subregion) Tool, tracing the linework of the streets.   When you are finished, your roads will actually be a different topo surface which you can apply a different material to, and they will be correct in plan and elevation. 

Hope this helps!
