TransDEM Forum

It would be great if there was a way to specify multiple, disconnected polylines in a single ASCII XYZ file. Right now, for example, if I put the following points in an XYZ file, and open it in Transdem using "Open Route", it creates one contiguous polyline that looks like an "N":

I know this is a really old topic... I'm now running Transdem 2.6.5.1 with TANE SP3. I still have the same problem where Transdem's UTM tile exporter creates a somewhat dark TGA file with occasional splotches of ultra-bright, unnatural color (cyan, pink, etc). If I go into that TGA file, in ...

Are there any issues running TransDem on TRS22?

Thanks

Same question here. I'm running TANE SP3, wondering if I should upgrade to TRS22. I won't upgrade unless I know I can utilize DEM data, ortho tiles, topo maps, geo-reference things, and create a really big map in TRS22 with 3D UTM ...

Just a small update. I've noticed that USGS 2018 "Geospatial PDFs" are perfectly usable in Transdem (and, ultimately, in Trainz) provided that I manually enter the correct coordinate system, zone, and hemisphere, and manually crop the margins. In other words, I can use the new maps. The process just ...

Thanks. Here's an example, a USGS 7.5 minute map for Felton, CA published in 2018...

Normally, the process I follow to utilize a topo map in Trainz starts out like this:

1. Download a GEOPDF from the USGS National Map Download page
2. Open it in Transdem (Open Raster Map)
3. Mask the margins (click "Define Transparent Margins with Polygon Mask" twice)
4. Convert to UTM
5. Save the ...

OK, thanks. I tried your test (load a map, create flat DEM placeholder data, use an export mask that encloses two baseboards, with a polyline across one of the baseboards, and make three exports: "None", "Route only" and "All"). Same problem as before (no difference between None and Route Only). But ...

Thanks. I haven't verified in Surveyor. I'm just looking at the files that TransDEM creates in the output (route) folder. In particular, the GND file. If I use "All", the GND file size is very large (as expected). If I use "None", the GND file size is much smaller (as expected). However, if I use ...

I'm running TranDEM Trainz Edition (64bit) Version 2.6.1.0. When I create DEM and Ground Textures, I choose T:ANE under Trainz Version, then select "Route Only" under 5M grid. I don't think that choice is working for me. The output is identical to selecting "None" under 5M grid. The other choice ...

Sometimes I generate a 3D UTM tile, import it into TANE SP3 using TANE Content Manager, then manually place it on an existing map. When I do this (manually place a 3D UTM tile on an old map instead of using the new Transdem-generated map with the automatically placed 3D UTM tile), the Name property ...
