3d global terrain

A file to be explored in Global Mapper and even exported to Global Mapper Package format for sharing with others.- Copy and paste image and DEM layers to duplicate a layer in a single workspace or easily copy data to additional open workspaces- Export 3D data including vector features, meshes, and point clouds to Cesium 3D tiles format. Export gridded terrain to Cesium Terrain Tiles.- Search the Connect to Online Data list of sources to stream just the data you need into Global Mapper, including a new built-in marine basemap source from TCartaGlobal Mapper 25.1- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 25- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 24.1- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 24- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 23.1- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 23- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 22.1- Change log not available for this versionGlobal Mapper 22.0Significant New Features:- New Eye Dome Lighting settings in the 3D viewer help improve visual display of vector and lidar data- A new tool for simplifying loaded meshes or TINs- A new Spatial Operations tool to find the intersection of two vector layers- A new Analysis menu option to find the overlap (both percentage and graphical) between two or more Lidar, raster/image, and/or terrain layers- An update to the Raster Reclassify tool that allows it to work with continuous data (terrain/slope, single bands of imagery).- A new sweep selection tool for working with

The Create Mesh from Terrain tool will convert gridded elevation data into a 3D mesh made up of nodes, faces and edges. While Global Mapper can dynamically show terrain datasets in the 3D viewer, including with draped imagery, this tool will create a new 3D model layer to the same effect that is also supported in other 3D viewer applications when exported to a 3D model format. The generated 3D model can also have a texture image associated with it that will drape on the top of mesh surface, using either a selected image or the current terrain shader. This tool is available in the Layer menu as Create Mesh Feature from Raster/Terrain. It can also be accessed from the Control center. Right-click on a terrain layer(s) and navigate to the Layer sub-menu to find this option. This option will triangulate the terrain grid into a mesh feature. Each pixel specified will be converted to two triangles. It is recommended to also specify a simplification in order to collapse edges that are not necessary to representing the structure of the terrain. In the layer selection dialog be sure to also include imagery layers if it is intended to create a texture from the imagery or other raster layer. Vertical Units Select from the following options: Meters Decimeters Centimeters Millimeters Feet Decifeet Inches Centifeet Millifeet It is recommended to keep the units as Meters to load the model correctly in Global Mapper. ResamplingWhen the pixels change size due to changes in resolution or reprojection, the resampling method determines how new pixel values are calculated. Nearest Neighbor - simply uses the value of the sample/pixel that a sample location is in. When resampling an image this can result in a stair-step effect, but will maintain exactly the original color values of the source image. Bilinear Interpolation - determines the value of a new pixel based on a weighted average of the 4 pixels in the nearest 2 x 2 neighborhood of the pixel in the original image. The averaging has an anti-aliasing effect and therefore produces relatively smooth edges with less stair-step effect. Bicubic Interpolation - a more sophisticated method that produces smoother edges than bilinear interpolation. Here, a new pixel is a bicubic function using 16 pixels in the nearest 4 x 4 neighborhood of the pixel in the original image. This is the method most commonly used by image editing
