QGIS?

[linuxmaster9 101]

Does anyone here use QGIS for their DEM and other GIS data processing? Can someone point me to a tutorial that uses it and walks you through the steps needed to generate the necessary data?

I find global mapper easier to use tbh, You can pump out a basic terrain, sat map and all roads in 1 day. I could never find any guides for QGIS, when I looked into using it.

But I can not afford the couple hundred $ cost of Global Mapper. Or the premium source content either.

Maybe there is a trial? The guides are abit outdated, I might write an update one day

Really all you do is add your SRTM or DEM then click on raster on the top bar then click conversion and convert it to ASC amd then load it into L3DT and your done

I use QGIS, but not for anything Arma related. I found it relatively easy to learn.

There are many general QGIS learning resources available, for example:

http://www.qgis.org/en/docs/index.html

http://www.qgistutorials.com/en/

 

If all you want to do is prepare data for Arma Terrain builder you just need to do is import, filter, then export data:

 

For raster (heightmap) to ASC:

and to export vector data:

• select the layer you wish to export.
• select the features on that layer you wish to export using the select features tools
• right click the layer and save as ESRI shapefile.
