001] Global Mapper - Creating DEMs

Image
This is the first session of the Global Mapper series. Among the many things you can create using GIS software, I plan to cover topics essential for preparing landscape-related reports, such as: Creating a DEM (Digital Elevation Model) Using Online Maps Contour, Slope, and Aspect Analysis Path Profiling (Terrain Sections) Viewshed Analysis Using the Map Layout Editor for saving images in Global Mapper As with my CityEngine series, I believe in getting started first to build a framework as posts accumulate. I won't go into every tiny detail right from the start; instead, I will provide deeper explanations and supplementary information as we progress. First, you'll need to download the trial version. If you visit the  Blue Marble Geographics  website, you will see a menu for a "Start Free Trial." Please note that personal emails (Naver, Gmail, etc.) are generally not accepted; you must use an email associated with a company or an educational institution. Once your email...

003] Global Mapper - Terrain Analysis, DEM Creation, and Raster Reclassification

Image
Today, we will explore how to perform contour and terrain analysis using Global Mapper. If you are accustomed to ESRI products or Q-GIS, you might find Global Mapper's output slightly different at first, but its intuitive workflow is incredibly powerful once you get used to it. "Before we begin, if you missed the previous session, check it out here:" 001] Global Mapper - Creating DEMs 1. Creating a DEM Using Digital Topographic Maps The first step in terrain analysis is generating a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) from contour data. You can use your own data or any standard digital topographic map files. download Terrain_data.zip  (This is a safe proprietary data file for Global Mapper.) Opening the Data To begin, open your contour file in Global Mapper by navigating to File > Open Data File(s) . Once the file is loaded, you will see the contour lines displayed on the screen. However, the default colors might not be very visible depending on your workspace setti...

[030] Global Mapper - Assigning Heights to Vertices: Edit Feature Vertices

Image
Today, we will learn how to assign height values to the vertices of a Line or Area feature in Global Mapper. "Before we begin, if you missed the previous session, check it out here:" 029] Global Mapper - Cutting Areas with Lines: Crop Selected Area(s) to Selected Line(s) In various development and road design plans, design heights (Planned Elevations) are typically designated at major nodal points, with slopes indicated for the sections in between. However, since most CAD or design data is drawn in 2D (plan view), you must manually apply elevation values to each vertex to use them effectively in landscape simulations or 3D modeling. Open the practice file and let's get started.  Vertex_Height.zip (This is a safe proprietary data file for Global Mapper.) [img 1 : Global Mapper screen showing a 2D road centerline with elevation labels like FH:115.0, FH:100.0] As shown above, the road centerline is displayed along with planned elevations for major points, distances ...
