I am importing a 5M DEM.TIF surface file from GIS. They have already converted it from Meter to Foot, and fixed the Geo Coordinates. The surface should be the low 5000' Elevation, but I am getting it in the 16000'. I am creating Terrain from surface selecting the tif.
This is ours (Oregon):
It is the advanced units settings where most folks get into issues. Interesting that the linear units are in Imperial, while the advanced units are in Metric for Oregon. Here are ours in Oklahoma for comparison:
One can easily see where I had to rescale/ change the working units for EVERYTHING from Bentley (ORD) to get it to work with the settings here.
This is my/UDOTs working units.
I was thinking that the settings under User Preferences - Raster Manager - Georefrence would fix things but I am getting the same result with whatever I change these settings to.
I wouldn't expect anything under User Preferences to affect it. Check that the Geographic Coordinate System settings are correct in the Import Terrain Model dialog:
OpenRoads will perform unit conversions based on these settings. Be aware that some of the coordinate systems use different units for the horizontal and vertical.
Think I got it the Storage Units vs the Working Units need to be changed. How do I change the storage units in Power Inroads SS4 08.11.09.904
