Dynamic 2D files
2D files also known as background files or display models are defined as files with no height information
available. Height of all points in the file is set to 0.00 meters. These files are often used as background to
visualize existing infrastructure or drain pipes where height was not logged originally. When working in
projects with the 2D files, they are not placed in height 0.00 meters. They are moved closer to the project,
right below the active 3D references lowest point. These files are handled dynamically, so whenever a 3D
reference is activated or deactivated, the 2D files adjust accordingly.

press the line name in the reference dialog and press the stakeout icon in the top of the reference dialog. A
