Terrain+™ Analysis

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.
