TransDEM Forum

I thought the difference between basemaps and UTM tiles was that the basemaps are low quality and UTM tiles are high quality. For the basemaps, when I go to Google Earth and copy my the map that is 3,280 feet above ground, I paste it to the basemap in CMP using Paint.net. When I put the map in Paint ...

Geophil. I took another try with Transdem and I read the tutorial in the Documents and the Tutorial on getting the DEM into trainz from the documents. I now know how to crop the areas that I want and take out certain parts of the DEM that I don't need. I also installed the Ground textures for ...

The route is still being built. But right now, I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this. A couple of weeks ago, I started using Transdem to make a DEM for my Major Tri State Area Project. About the last 5 or 6 screenshots I posted are in the DEM I am talking about. Last weekend, I took the ...

I was referring to working in Surveyor with the DEM based route created by Transdem. None of the work has been lost when saving. All the changes that I made will be recovered when I load the route up again.

There is just one problem I am having now. When I am working on the DEM in surveyor, after about 30 minutes or so, I save the DEM. Once it is finished saving, all of the hills and mountains disappear. Since that happens, I exit to the main menu and load up the route again. Do you know why the ...

I just found the manual. It sure is alot of reading. I'll take a look at it when I get the chance. So far, I have been using my own method for building the route. On top of the DEM, I set the baseboards to wireframe view and from there, I place my basemap from google earth and build off of that. I ...

My laptop has integrated graphics. It has 64MB of video memory. Throughout the exporting process, do you know if there is a way to stop this from happening.

I was following the 2nd part of the video tutorial, since I can't really seem to find the manual. I successfully got completed the first video tutorial. I thought this would be good so I can somewhat understand the whole process with getting DEM's and dealing with Transdem. On the 2nd part of the ...

Thank you so much Geophil. Those tutorials at first where somewhat confusing, but after a couple of tries dealing with USGS seamless server, I have a DEM for New York City in the surveyor. Now here is where we go downhill. I took a look at a couple of the trainz forums and it seems that there are a ...

Just to get a start in the right direction, can someone please tell me how I can get a DEM that will cover NYC. Right now I would mainly like Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx. I would like a DEM for NYC first before any other area because that is where the Metro North, LIRR, and NJT ...
