[GRASS-user] DTM/DEM to TIN

2014-12-05 Thread G. Allegri
As far as I can see GRASS doesn't provide any ready-to-go tool to generate TINs from grid digital elevation models. I know I can transform a grid to a regular mesh somehow (probably using the Triangle lib for the last step) but I can't find tools to generate TINs, given a certain amount of

[GRASS-user] PLEASE HELP!

From what I can see of GRASS-user postings, most of the discussion is about quite technical aspects of GRASS. Please can someone address my very basic problems? 1 - after running GRASS for about half an hour, the layer selection becomes unresponsive. 2 - I get wired interaction

Hi. I can't find tools to generate TINs, given a certain amount of tolerance, which preserve significative locations (like those obtained by TPI for example) and shapes (in a morphonetric sense) Does the v.triangle add-on accomplish the goal?

Hi Mark, thanks for the reply but it's not what I'm looking for. v.triangle is a front-end to Triangle, to generate a Delaunay triangulation on points and, eventually, breaklines. I'm lookink for something that generates a TIN from an elevation grid (raster). giovanni Il 05/dic/2014 14:14 Mark

Thanks for the suggestions. I already had a look at that page, but nothing seems to fulfill my requirements. Using v.random is not a solution. I should select significative points, and significative lines, to feed Triangle. Random selection will probably miss important locations (e.g. peaks,

Hi Giovanni, A module for this would be really neat! I am not sure if this will be helpful, but here is what I have done in the past. Set your region of interest of course. My notes indicate that I had to add an extra unit to the north and west region (not sure why). r.out.vtk -v
