DEM Data for Canada

[Shortline2]

Hi Rick,

Aha, so that was the reason why you posted this tread in the first place, a way to lure me back in here...
How could I not see that. LOL

I'm one step away from looking at this in Trainz now, to see how bad or good it is looking there.

I been trying to color in the river on the B&W maps, and I colored the dotted line that I think is the old roadbed - to help better find it again in all the blackness.

Other then that, it is a massive large area so far, but will get cropped down I guess for Trainz use when I enter the Trainz face of this exercise.
It been fun, and as soon as my mind got the kick it needed from Phil above here, it made the whole file even better manageable.

Now, to keep me here, now that I know the plan, I guess it will be harder to achieve. LOL

Best wishes

Linda

Hmm,

I'm still here, damn, how did that happen...

I've now been inside of Trainz, being the crazy person I am, the map is a little big...
Very hard for me to chop it down, I love mountains and valleys - and I envision a whole heap of mining up there so I couldn't just chop it to pieces...

Rick, I'm uploading it to the same place you gave me the logging from - being a 44mb zip file it takes a while...

I need to refresh my self with TransDEM and the whole DEM stuff I see, as I was not able to match the imported geo-referenced map to the DEM when comparing the topo lines on the map with a generated 100ft apart topo lines on the DEM - and visually they also looked apart.
I shifted the DEM by eye and trial, but need to figure out why it happens.

I've used the map to paint the ground - I got lost in the map otherwise.
I tried to make the map appear on squares under the ground, but I was asking TransDEM to make to many I guess, as I got none... LOL

I will email you Rick when it is uploaded, and we can take it from there.

Ok, in case your visit forum before my email is written, file is uploaded...

Next, prepare some screenshots for this thread - will be back.

Hello all,

Here is a shot from Alice Arm, not much to brag about, but at least you see some ground that is not flat.

I extended the view to about 6km with TrainzTuner - and as you see, you need even more view distance and powerful computer to really make the landscape justice.

Then, some more images, along the route upstream north:

Now, I hope this was of some use, for somebody.

I haven't done any editing of the DEM other then the TransDEM resampling to 10m.

Hope it helps Rick

Best wishes

Linda

Hi Linda,
That looks great! I've read some of the posts about TransDem, but it looks way to deep for my shallow mind...LOL
Since there are no tiger lines for Canada, this will definitely be much better then the blank boards produced by MicroDem, Not to mention it appears the elevation steps given with the 3 arc data does't exist with TransDem.
Very nice indeed, thank you.
