• The GeoTIFF needs to contain the foliage height, relative to the terrain height. Use avalue of 0, <0 or a nodata value for the pixels where there is no foliage.
• The already present tree constructions are ignored when choosing this option to provide foliage height data
• When you have chosen to import a foliage height GeoTIFF, there is also an option to Do nothing. Then the height and crown factor of the tree constructions in the 3D world is used for determining the foliage height and location.
