Projection

The generated terrain is exported to Object Landscape Terrain, which is actually a flat (i.e., not geospherical) area. Therefore, only projected coordinate systems are available for selection and can be used as export projections.

To choose a projection, click the corresponding button. The list of coordinate systems that can be used for projected output will open:

• The Projected Coordinate System list contains a wide range of coordinate reference systems for projected output.
• The Source Coordinate System list displays the coordinate systems used by your source data for convenience.

Select a projection by double click, or just select by clicking once and press the OK button.

The Preview window displays data in the World coordinate system — East(x), North(y) . However, your data source may use another alignment (for example ENU). If this is the case, you need to switch the coordinate system to Source.

• Source — the orientation of the generated terrain will be in accordance with the alignment indicated in the projection. It may differ from what is displayed in the Preview window.
• World — the generated terrain is aligned as East(x), North(y) (as displayed in the Preview window).
