RE: MI Vertical Mapper problem

Trevor,

It is curious that GridView can only be launched from Explorer and not from
the Grid Manager.  Can you provide me with some more details such as any
error messages?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say you are overlaying the
dam level.  Is this a drape file or is this another grid?  If it is another
grid which simulates the surface of the water and you are trying to display
it in 3D along with an elevation grid then I can see how your are having
problems.  The minimum value of the second grid you enter into the scene
will always appear at the minimum value of the master grid (first grid in
the scene).  When using elevation information make sure you are viewing them
in true scale and the base of the second grid is set to zero and is turned
off.

To calculate the volume all you need to do is use the Grid Calculator and
subtract the ground elevation grid from the water surface elevation grid.

I'm trying to generate a 3D image of a dam sighting. I have encountered the
following problems and would appreciate some help:
   When I trim a grid I don't seem to be able to generate a 3D view from the
   MapInfo interface. I can however go through Windows Explorer by double
   clicking on the GridView file name.
   When I overlay a dam level of at say 40m on my 3D image it sets its
elevation
   at 352m so it renders my 3D image useless. I have checked long-sections
and
   they apprear to be OK.
   I need to calculate the volume of my proposed dam. Is there a query I can
   perform that will calculate the volume between my ground level grid and
the
   proposed dam grid?


Suggestions?

Trevor Glass

Ian,

The black screen you have encountered with GridView normally occurs when
your video card has been set to use 256 colours.

I am attempting to create a 3D view using gridview in vertical mapper.
Everything appears ok in the grid view options dialogue box. Click on ok,
the scene is rendered but then I just get a black screen in the viewing
window. If I try to open any of the tutorial files I get the same result.

What am I missing?

TIA

Ian
