Hi all. Finally got my copy of '..06', so I was all set to start making courses. I'll cut to the problem, though...In Terrain Assist everything seems to be fine after following the instructions. However when I do 'DEM step 4 - Export DEM to CA' in TA ( from the 'Simplified Tutorial for TA')the whole course is corrupt in CA.
In '3DEM' the co-ordinates are 4 numbers after the decimal point, so that's what I use when clipping the 30m DEMS and getting the Google Earth overhead, adding '00' in G.E., since they use 6 numbers. Example : 3DEM -44.9450 , 168.8200 . In G.E. I would use -44.945000 , 168.820000 to get the overhead photo. In TA the outcome is near perfect, in terms of the photo fitting exactly to the DEM in relation to the real course.
However, when I'm less accurate with the co-ordinates (between DEM and photo) TA/CA seems to work fine. That makes the course much less accurate, which really makes it not worth doing.
Steps: 1)Find golf course. 2)Mark in G.E top left-centre-bottom right.3)Change those co-ordinates to 4 numbers after decimal + '00'. 4)Put those co-ordinates in the 'GoogleEarth html' that can be used to get the overhead. 5)Get the G.E. photo and clip it. 5)Open '3DEM'. 6)Clip the DEM to the exact same co-ordinates as the photo and save. (All following the instructions that can be found in 'CourseDownloads'). 7) Open TA.........and that's when the problems start.
This isn't very clear I know, but if someone has any ideas...........
Thanks.

What do you mean by less accurate with the co-ordinates, what numbers do you use to make it work in the CA? |

Sorry for being so late in replying, but I'll only be able to access the internet once a day for a time.
What I meant was...being less fussy in rounding up or down to the nearest 4 numbers after the decimal. For example 57.234567. Being more 'accurate' I mean that I would round to 57.234600.
However, after some more attempts today it seems that I can't export any DEM of any size from TA to CA without it being corrupted. The corruption looks like an out of synch TV, the land bunched up in lots of horizontal lines.
The first time I tried TA to CA on Sunday night it worked. Every other time after that all I get is a scrambled mess.
I have(had) plans to make 4-5 real courses for a start so I've got all the GE overheads clipped and all the 3DEM ASCII string texts ready. Not one of them is being converted from TA to CA.
Like I said above, in TA you see the DEM and map perfectly - no problems. Only when you try 'step 4' in the process is when everything goes willy wonka.
The computer where I've got 'TW...06/07/08' installed isn't hooked up to the internet, so there are no problems with viruses for example. It uses Vista 64bit.
Any suggestions will be gratefully accepted. |

| Is the starting plot you are using in the CA set to the correct dimensions (in yards) as requested in the TA |

| Sorry, what I was trying to say is have you used metric for your DEM/photo but not adjusted your starting plot in the CA to metric before exporting the DEM |

| 6 decimal places are more accurate than when rounded to 4 |

Jimbo63. Thanks for your suggestion. To be honest I don't know, but it's something I'll definitely look into. Thanks again.
jmeier. Yes, I know. I didn't express what I wanted to say properly.
Thanks for the replies. I'll get back as soon as I can (when I can get on the internet). |

| Thanks Jimbo63. It's like you suspected, I had CA using 'metric' rather than yards. Everything is up and running like it should. Now I have to get down and learn how to use CA properly. Ahh! time to start making some courses..... Thanks again. |
