Mesh not showing up

[rhumbaflappy 113]

Hi Sergio.I'm glad this worked out. I agree, the LOD10 is fine. You might have even found LOD8 or 9 alright. The editing with Excel was a good idea.It's kind of you to acknowledge us in the credits, although Steve's advice was much more valuable than mine, and you did all the work!Dick ( Richard Ludowise )

Dick;Different subjuct but!I have downloaded two *.BIL NED files, mine are just ann numerical 1668903.BIL for example for Wheeling, WV 80:0 W 79:0 W 41:0 N 40:0 N.Did you rename the BIL file?Once I make the .INI what program do I use.Richard;

Hi Richard.The INF file is for resample, it should look something like this:{Source}Type = ElevS16LSBSourceDir = "."SourceFile = "1668903.BIL"NullCellValue = -32767Lat = 40.99986111207111Lon = -79.99986111271100 NumOfCellsPerLine = 3600NumOfLines = 3600CellXDimensionDeg = 0.00027777777780CellYDimensionDeg = 0.00027777777780{Destination}LOD = 9DestDir = "."DestBaseFileName = "WVMesh_N41_W80"UseSourceDimensions = 1( Replace the curly brackets with square brackets, and name the file as WVMesh_N41_W80.inf ).There should be a BLW file with the download for each mesh. That will give you the actual numbers for Lat, Long, and the cell dimensions.You can then run resample from a batchfile:resample WVMesh_N41_W80.inftmfcompress WVMesh_N41_W80.tmf WVMesh_N41_W80C.tmftmf2bgl WVMesh_N41_W80C.tmf WVMesh_N41_W80.bglName this TXT file as WVMesh_N41_W80.batInto one folder, place the following:WVMesh_N41_W80.batWVMesh_N41_W80.infresample.exetmfcompress.exetmf2bgl.exeThen double-click the BAT file to make the mesh. It will make the BGL in that folder, on the Windows Desktop. ( I use the OLD resample from the FS2000 terrain SDK ). If you use the new resample, then use this BAT file:resample WVMesh_N41_W80.infI think the new resample would allow something like this:resample WVMesh_N41_W80.inf WVMesh_N41_W79.inf WVMesh_N40_W80.inf WVMesh_N40_W79.infMaybe Steve Greenwood could add something to this I may have overlooked. I use the naming convention just to easily ID the files.Dick

You can make batch processing a little simpler by using a parameter (%1) for the filename. (This can probably be enhanced to handle multiple .inf files if desired)Place the code between the dashed lines below (for the SDK version you prefer) in a batch file called prepbgl.batThen run it from the DOS prompt (filename only, no extension)>prepbgl WVMesh_N41_W80The batch processor will replace all occurrences of %1 with WVMesh_N41_W80This way you don't have to keep rewriting the batch file.Batch code for the FS2000 SDK----------------------------------------:prepBGL.batclsmd %1resample %1.inftmfcompress %1.tmf %1.comptmf2bgl %1.comp %1.bgl----------------------------------------Batch code for the FS2002 SDK----------------------------------------:prepBGL.batclsmd %1resample %1.inf----------------------------------------Explanation of optional lines which can be left out==================================================:prepbgl.bat - just a comment that identifies the filecls - clears the DOS screen before processing beginsMD %1 - creates a sub-directory using your filename. Convenient for storing the related .dem .inf .bgl ... files together when doneCheers, Steve

Hi Steve.Very good info about batch files. :)Thanks, ( again ).Dick
