CUBIZEN: Global Mapper, CityEngine & Creative Tech

Modify specific regions of your DEM using intuitive brush tools and feature-based selection. In this tutorial, we explore the Terrain Painting tool in Global Mapper, which allows for localized elevation edits. Unlike global corrections, this workflow enables you to smooth, raise, lower, or fix elevations for specific sites, such as construction platforms or road beds, while blending them naturally into the surrounding terrain using feathering techniques. In our last session, we covered how to correct an entire DEM layer. Today, we will learn how to modify only a specific area of your DEM data. Opening the Terrain Paint Tool in Global Mapper With your DEM data open: img 1 : Enable Terrain Painting icon in Global Mapper toolbar Click the Enable Terrain Painting menu. The Terrain Paint Options window will appear. img 2 : Terrain Paint Options window interface Terrain Paint Options Breakdown ...

Convert 2D CAD drawings into 3D GIS data by manually assigning and interpolating vertex elevations. Why Vertex Elevation Assignment Is Important in 3D GIS Workflows In various development and road design plans, design heights (Planned Elevations) are typically designated at major nodal points, with slopes indicated for the sections in between. This tutorial covers the workflow for adding elevation data to 2D lines and areas using the 'Edit Feature Vertices' tool to prepare data for landscape simulations or 3D modeling. We will learn how to assign height values to the vertices of a Line or Area feature in Global Mapper. 🎥 Video Tutorial: Assigning Heights to Vertices Need to convert a 2D line into a 3D path? Watch the video below! It demonstrates how to manually assign elevation values to specific vertices and evenly interpolate heights between them using the Feature Vertex List. You can even ...

Learn how to perform advanced arithmetic operations on multiple Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) to analyze terrain changes and relationships. This tutorial covers the 15 available terrain operations in Global Mapper, providing a deep dive into practical applications like elevation addition, signed/unsigned subtraction for cut-and-fill analysis, and conditional filtering for specific elevation ranges. It is designed to help GIS professionals perform complex spatial calculations across overlapping datasets. This tutorial explains how to perform arithmetic and comparison operations on DEM terrain layers in Global Mapper. img 1 : Introduction to DEM Calculation in Global Mapper Understanding DEM Arithmetic Operations in Global Mapper Global Mapper provides a total of 15 different operations for combining or comparing terrain layers. The following operations are available for D...
