Trouble getting DEM to work...

[alizhan]

I recently upgraded to 2.1, and decided that it was time to try the whole 3D thing again. I am promoting a mountain bike event here in Socorro, NM, and I would very much like to use TF to make my trail maps.

I can't seem to get the 3D view to work.

I tried option #1 from the 3d.php page. I zoomed to the area in question, saved a NED GeoTIFF file, used 3DEM to convert it to an ASCII DEM file (~6 MB), and placed that file in my DEM directory (C:\Program Files\TopoFusion). I load up my track, zoom it to fit, and hit the 3D button.

I get a beautifully rendered, but completely flat map. '>

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Some more info. My demIndex.dat file contains the following:

2
C:\Program Files\TopoFusion\catmtn.dem
catmtn.dem
1

488144
3.55431e+006
488160

Obviously the "socorro-south" entry is bogus, but I'm not sure why. I can send the DEM file to anyone who wants to look at it.

Hi,

Yeah, looks like your DEM file doesn't have any data.  If you want you can send it to us (with a track in the area), or I'd try downloading it again.

Also you could try deleting the demIndex file.
