hi Jakob as follows:
> I do not agree. To a lot of raster work VM is far superior to > Engage3D. I don't know what you are using, but it seems it is not Engage 3D, as all you say is defintely wrong. Engage supports raster/grids in many formats and I can do almost anything with it: 3D (full, not a 2.5 view like in VM), many filters on grids, grid calculator, superior contour generator (best and fastest seen so far), slope, aspect, colouring, relief (in 2.0 amazing) and much more such as raster/vector overlays!!! there is nothing, absolutely nothing in VM that can compare. > for this to be THE tool it must refer to z-coords in MapInfo tab For 3-D vecotrs clearly as MI does not support 3D vectors. Where are 3D vectors in VM? > interpolation part of VM is very strong to but the need Engage (2.0) is as well here far better, i.e. it supports breaklines and huge files and has at least as many interpolation alogrythms as VM does. > -If a customer need to go all the way from data collection, > interpolation, viewing and analysis I will still recommend Vertical > Mapper. Engage is defintely superior as well here, see above. > Mit freundlichem Gruss / Best Regards > Flavio Hendry > > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > TYDAC NEWS http://www.tydac.ch/german/index.php?menu=News_actual > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > ############ Mit freundlichen Gruessen / Kind Regards > ############ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > ############ TYDAC AG - http://www.tydac.ch > #### #### Geographic Information Solutions > #### #### Luternauweg 12 -- CH-3006 Bern > ############ Tel +41 (0)31 368 0180 - Fax +41 (0)31 368 1860 > ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 18226
