What the Heightmap Overlay is

Example of the Heightmap Overlay


The Heightmap Overlay displays the height of the terrain. The overlay becomes available for all stakeholders when added to a project. There exist two model types: Digital Terrain Model and Digital Surface Model.

- Digital Terrain Model type: displays the height of the terrain at the selected location on the map.
- Digital Surface Model type: displays the height of the terrain and the height of the object that is located on the selected location on the map.
