An old growth forest pixel in NY seems equal to a solid wooden wall.
I imagine a forest pixel in Utah is a different thing.

The lcv is just colored pixels. You have to go to Options ->
Elevation data -> Land cover to set a height and density. There are
default values, but they may or may not be sane.
Every time I make a map, I review the landcover heights and maybe
adjust. For example, if I'm looking at an area that's predominately
old growth forest I might set forest heights to 30m and density to
400%. In other areas I might say 21m or 25m height and less density.

I also have never had a problem with elevations showing up, but
landcover sure did not want to.
Do I have to set heights and densities if I downloaded the lcv files?
I was hopeful that was automatic as I have no clue as to heights.

I routinely make maps wider than my display...never noticed anything
like that.
Don't forget to set your heights and densities.

Interesting, if you have your map view wider in pixels than your
display, the land cover data will not show.
I made my map smaller because the legend was not fully visible. Once
I hit 1850 pixels wide, then the thing lit up with all kinds of
colors.

OK, finally found a place to get landcover data.
http://rmd.neoknet.com/Landcover/
All the other links seem to not work.
I got the files I needed manually extracted into the proper folder.
It would download them but not save them. Perhaps because they were
zip files not the native file.
In any event, nothing looks different. If I do a path profile it
shows some little trees, which don’t look as tall or as thick as I
think they should be.
The map and pictures etc have not changed. Should the map look
different?
Did I go through all that just to have stuff on the profile that I
don’t trust?
