3D CONTOUR MAPS

Postby FauSham » Sat Feb 07, 2009 12:12 pm

3D CONTOUR MAPS
3DField is a contouring surface plotting and 3D data program that runs under Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/XP. 3DField converts your data into contour maps and surface plots. All aspects of 2D or 3D maps can be customized to produce exactly the presentation you want.

Our members in MFM can get this software using this link:
http://field.hypermart.net/

When I tried using with SRTM data from Antyong, it's look OK(must study more... :D but can get 3D IMAGE perfectly).
FauSham Rating: :) :) :) :) :) :) :) /10 similies value

We can use any of this file with 3DField:
- scattered (X,Y,Z) data points (up to a few million for registered version) ;
- scattered (X,Y,Z, links) data points with links;
- *.SHP files (ArcView ESRI Shapefiles);
- GPS NMEA files (elevations or depths);
- ASCII *.DEM USGS Digital Elevation Model files;
- ASCII *.DXF Autocad files (points and lines entities);
- ASCII *.GEN ArcInfo files (polygons);
- *.CSV files from SonarViewer (Lowrance Electronics, Inc);
- *.SLG Lowrance Sonar Log Data files using SLG2TXT utility from Lowrance Customer Service;
- *.GRD Surfer 6, Surfer7 and Surfer8 files;
- *.ASC ArcInfo compatible ASCII grid format;
- 1" and 3" SRTM data in HGT format (with .HGT extension)
- *.DBF DBase files;
- BMP, JPG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, GeoTIFF pictures;
