Example of the Heightmap Overlay


The Heightmap Overlay is a Grid Overlay that displays the elevation model, the height of the terrain. The Overlay is available to all Stakeholders when added to a project. A model type for the Overlay can be chosen in the right panel.

There exist two model types:

  • Digital Terrain Model type: displays the height of the terrain at the selected location on the map.
  • Digital Surface Model type: displays the height of the terrain and the height of the object that is located on the selected location on the map.

For more information on how terrain height is obtained, inspected and manipulated in the Tygron Platform, see elevation model.
