Now T:ANE I can get into
I am utilizing TransDEM to generate the terrain for a historical Trainz route. So far, I have had no issue with collecting/importing the data and generating the route file, but I've run into a problem with the DEM itself:
As you can see when contrasting the DEM against the topographic map, the former contains a number of manmade structures (in this example, a depressed highway) which did not exist during the time period I am attempting to depict. This is potentially a deal breaker for the entire project, as there are many instances in which elevated/depressed highways now occupy what were once grade-level railroad rights-of-way.
While I could, in theory, attempt to rectify this issue with the terrain tools in Surveyor (a daunting task) I am wondering if TransDEM itself offers functionality/tools that could assist in some way? While I have been using the application for many years, I have never ventured outside of its basic route generating functionality, and I wouldn't quite know where to start.
(Some of you may recall that I posted about this issue close to a year ago or so, but I've decided to revisit this challenge from a more constructive angle)
