TransDEM Forum

I have not reported this before as last time I was only experimenting with a route. This time I have recreated a route, different name, with the recently available 6" Circ. 1900 maps.
Once again I notice that UTM's are missing. See images.
What has gone wrong?

UTM tile creation is controlled by the rectangular export mask, the vector path and the route filter. The route filter governs the number of additional 1000m tiles to the right and left of the route vectors. The default is 0 I think.

500m tiles will be created as a batch of four quadrants.

For each tile, the anchor point must also exist as a baseboard. Anchor points are always at the intersection of the 1000m UTM gridlines. That rules includes the 500m tiles.

Note: Without vectors loaded, UTM tile generation is rather unspecific. In this mode TransDEM limits creation to 20 to 25 1000 m tiles, even if the rectangular mask is much bigger.

Each UTM tile name is built from its UTM coordinates. UTM-30U-573-6003-NE is in zone 30, northern hemisphere (U), easting 573000, northing 6003000 and it's a northeast quadrant, hence a 500m tile. If you miss UTM tiles, check whether they have been created in the destination folder with the help of the coordinate naming convention. If not, check whether all of the above filter criteria have been met.

I have removed my previous effort from Trainz together with the output from TranzDEM.
Set up again in TranzDEM to creat the route.
Here are images of this procedure.

Once again missing tiles.
Installed in Trainz - TranzDEM UTM tile 1000
- Ground textures 128 000 to 128 127
- Ground textures 20 00 20 19
What an I doing wrong?

"No map source" means that TransDEM cannot find any map clipping that covers part or all of a particular UTM tile, indicated by its UTM coordinates. Is that the case for all or some of your missing tiles? For a test run you may want to try a smaller export rectangle to focus on the missing tiles.

Finally realised what was wrong, as you said no map clippings no tiles. Put all tha map clippings in one directory and bingo a result. Quality leaves a lot to be desired so will have to work on that.

It's good to hear that.
