When you import a DXF file as a background map in Infrakit, you may notice small dots displayed on the 2D map. This article explains why these dots appear and how to manage their visibility.
Key Principles
DXF Point Objects Are Displayed as Dots
Infrakit interprets point objects in a DXF file as small dots when visualizing a background map. This is the default behavior and helps represent any point data included in the file, such as survey markers or design reference points.
Dots Can Be Removed by Editing the DXF File
If you do not want dots to appear on your background map, you can open your DXF file in a CAD editor and delete the point layers. After saving and re-importing the file, the dots will no longer appear in Infrakit.
Examples
For example, if your design DXF includes survey stakes as points, these will show up as dots in the background map. Removing the point layer before import will ensure only lines and surfaces are visualized.
