Draping tiff over 3d surface

[Anonymous]

Hey,

I have looked through internet and there is plenty of information about draping, but i still cant seem to make it work. Basically i have a shape file and a TIFF file (tiff file is larger than the shape file, if that makes any difference). What i do, is that first of all i connect the .shp file extension. Then i create 3d surface from the shape file points, using "contour" Z values. 3D surface is created. Then i connect tiff file to drawing. As much as i searched, when i then switch to 3d view, it should pretty much drape the tiff file on surface. But for some reason, it doesent. Is there maybe any extra command to force tiff onto 3d surface or is there maybe something i am missing here?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

my first look will go to

• the visual style ==> should be realistic
• your graphic card + settings of hardware acceleration ==> what gc do you have + have you enabled or disabled the hw-acceleration?
• the (map) drawing order ==> the tiff must be placed within the Map3D-workspace above the shp-layer (looking to the draworder-page)

Then I would see a lot of chances to misunderstand the way from SHP to surface. So click onto the "surface" and look in the property-window: what type of object is this geometry?
