Hello all at the list,

here are my questions. I want to map areas of visibility from a 
geographical point, and present the results in MapInfo. I know that both 
Vertical Mapper and Maptitude have this functionality. My terrain data is 
UK ordnance survey 'Landform', which is available in .dxf format (& also 
.NTF) and comprises a rectangular grid of points defined by x,y & z co-ords 
in the UK ordnance survey metric grid system.

Does anybody know if either tool can handle data in this form?

As .dxf I can also import into MapInfo, but can the z dimension be accessed 
for thematic use (hillshading)?

Any views/experience on which of the above tools is the most effective?

Any other tools which provide similar functionality and are MI compatible?

I also use AutoCad Map (V, 5) has anyone come across applications which 
provide this functionality in that environment?

Thanks in advance.

Andy Beckett
