Recommended Posts

Has anybody else run across this and found out how to fix it?

"Layers generation - Default satellite file doesn't exist"

Both mask and sat files show up fine in TB but it wont let me generate my layers

This seems to be quite a common - and confusingly worded - error...

Usually, your Satellite File DOES exist, and what this error means is that TB doesn't like the parameters you've set in your Mapframe Properties "Samplers" Tab.

Take a look at that Samplers Tab - bottom-left section...

Try turning up the size of Satellite/Surface (mask) tiles "Size (px)" parameter... If you're currently set to 512x512 - try 1024x1024, etc...

Also take a look at the "Texture Layer Size (m)" parameter. This should be LARGER than your "Terrain Sampler section - Cell size (m) value (Top Left second parameter down)... The values you'll be offered for "Texture Layer Size" will be multiples of that heightmap cell size...

eg: If your heightmap cell size is 10m then you'll be offered 10m x 10m, 20m x 20m, 40m x 40m, etc...

Whatever values you're offered, try to use the one closest to 40m x 40m.

Then move on to the Processing Tab and try generating the layers again....
