Following on from December’s webinar, during which we introduced the LiDAR processing functionality of Global Mapper, in January’s presentation, we explore the various analysis tools in the software that involve the use of terrain data. Global Mapper's 3D modeling and analysis functionality has been a major development focus over recent years and for many users, the utilization of the zvalue is the most important facet of the application. Among the specific topics covered in the webinar are:
Accessing terrain data
Terrain creation
Contour generation
Lineofsight analysis
Viewshed analysis
Volume calculation
Terrain flattening
Watershed modeling
Slope analysis
