The Builder window provides a large design canvas and a list from which you can choose classes and functions to place in the canvas. The design canvas shows these script components as boxes that can be moved as needed and minimized or expanded to hide or show the details of the function/class parameters. You create a process flow in the design canvas by graphically connecting the output of one component to the input of the next. </p> <p class="a10"> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/78ScriptBuilder.pdf"> <img height="18" src="/images/icons/pdftiny.gif" width="18" border="0"></a> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/78ScriptBuilder.pdf"> <b>Geospatial Script Builder: Use Graphical Interface to Design Scripts</b></a><b> ...</b><br /> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </p> 29 December 2011 http://www.microimages.com/announce <p> <table class="a10" style="width:600px"> <tr> <td> <p class="a10">20 December 2011 <br /><b></b> TNT 2012</p> <div style="float:left;height:auto;"> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/78TGEshaded.pdf"> <img src="/documentation/TechGuides/thumbnails/78TGEshaded.gif" border="0" width="90" height="116"></a> </div> <p class="a10"> Collada tilesets that you create in TNTmips combine your custom elevation data with a raster image that is draped over that terrain for 3D viewing in Google Earth. A shaded-relief raster produced directly from your elevation data (DEM raster) in the Topographic Properties process in TNTmips provides a very useful image to use as the drape image in a Collada tileset. When you view a shadedrelief Collada tileset in Google Earth, features of your custom 3D surface are visually accentuated by the relief shading in the drape image. Subtle topographic features that might be obscured by vegetation patterns or cultural features in an aerial or satellite image drape become more obvious in the more uniformly-textured shaded relief image, especially if you have used high-resolution elevation data as input (e.g., bare-earth Lidar DEM). </p> <p class="a10"> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/78TGEshaded.pdf"> <img height="18" src="/images/icons/pdftiny.gif" width="18" border="0"></a> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/78TGEshaded.pdf"> <b>Tilesets - Google Earth: View Shaded Relief Using a Custom Terrain</b></a><b> ...</b><br /> </p> </td> </tr> </table> </p> 20 December 2011 http://www.microimages.com/announce <p> <table class="a10" style="width:600px"> <tr> <td> <p class="a10">14 December 2011 <br /><b></b> TNT 2012</p> <div style="float:left;height:auto;"> <a href="/documentation/TechGuides/78TGEprojects.pdf"> <img src="/documentation/TechGuides/thumbnails/78TGEprojects.gif" border="0" width="90" height="116"></a> </div> <p class="a10"> Large-scale mining and construction projects can significantly alter the local shape of the terrain. If you have updated imagery and elevation data (e.g., a Lidar DEM) for a project site, you can use the Export Collada Tileset process in TNTmips (Tileset / Export Collada) to prepare the data for 3D viewing of the reshaped surface in Google Earth. The process produces a KMZ file containing a tiled set of Collada models that incorporate your imagery and terrain data. When you open the KMZ file in Google Earth, it loads the Collada models for the current viewing area and view scale, allowing you to view your imagery draped over your custom terrain surface.
