I just followed a tutorial tonight for using microdem and hog. ( http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ance...rrainGeneration/Computer-generatedTerrain.htm ) I'm using 2009.
My problem is that when I loaded my map into surveyor, its basically all flat. I'm doing an area in my town and it's by no means hilly but the track is elevated in alot of areas. The DEM was 30m just for your info.
The ONLY step I did not follow exactly was at this point :
http://freepages.misc.rootsweb.ance...ion/MicroDEM-SelectingElevationMapOptions.htm
It says to click elevation then colors.. On my microdem it doesn't give another slideout tab to pick colors, although it does bring up the same screen. Only difference is I do not have an option to check "interpolate within grid" -- It's just not there.. Could this be my problem?
Everything else came out fine, the blue for the rail lines and blue for water. Is the red supposed to show up on the actual grid? I can see it in minimap but not actually on the base itself.
If anyone could help out, that would be greatly appreciated!! Maybe if I can get enough practice in I can do up a small route. Right now its the CSX Indy Line in the Shelby, OH area. (cleveland,oh-indianapolis, in). Thanks!
