Terrain+™ Analysis
Outline an area of any shape and see the ground full screen as a 3D surface, with a VE slider to raise or flatten it. Any layer can be draped over it.

About this layer
Terrain+™ Analysis builds a 3D model of ground you outline, from the LiDAR. Raise the VE slider to make low banks, pits and hollows easier to see and drape any layer over the model. It shows Dynamic LiDAR™ in the look you choose, such as local relief, sky view or VAT. The model shows the ground surface the LiDAR measured, not what lies beneath it. Save a model with the button beside the X to keep it on the phone for 30 days and open it from the Terrain+™ LiDAR menu in the field, without a connection.
What it is for
Tap round the area you want to model, build it, then tilt, turn and raise the VE slider to bring out low banks, pits and hollows. Drape any layer over it. The model shows Dynamic LiDAR™, turned on as it is built: its LiDAR button sets the look (hillshade, slope, local relief, sky view and openness, VAT and more), each with settings to bring out the features you are after.
Limits
The model shows the ground surface the lidar measured, not what lies beneath it. Detail and dates vary between surveys, and gaps are filled from the ground around them.
Where it works in Australia.
What changes by state.
The survey data behind this layer differs from place to place. Each write-up below applies to the places beside it.
Terrain+™ Analysis builds a 3D model of ground you outline, any shape up to 4.8 km across, from NSW's LiDAR; it comes with Explorer or the NSW LiDAR purchase. Raise the VE slider to make shafts, mullock and alluvial workings easier to see and drape any layer over the model. It shows Dynamic LiDAR™ in the look you choose, such as local relief, sky view or VAT. The model shows the ground surface the LiDAR measured, not what lies beneath it.
Terrain+™ Analysis builds a 3D model of ground you outline, any shape up to 4.8 km across, from Queensland's LiDAR; it comes with Explorer or the QLD LiDAR purchase. Raise the VE slider to make shafts, mullock and alluvial workings easier to see and drape any layer over the model. It shows Dynamic LiDAR™ in the look you choose, such as local relief, sky view or VAT. The model shows the ground surface the LiDAR measured, not what lies beneath it.
Terrain+™ Analysis builds a 3D model of ground you outline, any shape up to 4.8 km across, from Tasmania's LiDAR. Raise the VE slider to make shafts, mullock and alluvial workings easier to see and drape any layer over the model. It shows Dynamic LiDAR™ in the look you choose, such as local relief, sky view or VAT. The model shows the ground surface the LiDAR measured, not what lies beneath it.
Terrain+™ Analysis builds a 3D model of ground you outline, any shape up to 4.8 km across, from Victoria's 0.5 m and 1 m LiDAR; it comes with the Victorian LiDAR add-on. Raise the VE slider to make shafts, mullock and alluvial workings easier to see and drape any layer over the model. It shows Dynamic LiDAR™ in the look you choose, such as local relief, sky view or VAT. The model shows the ground surface the LiDAR measured, not what lies beneath it.
