Hi!
I was creating a model for a site in Africa. I am having problems making my model look realistic. Any suggestions where i can get free areal imagery. I tried using USGS national map viewer and its not loading on my pc. I have tried at least 3 different PC's and it just doesn't load. Any solutions to this problem as I will definitely need it for other models as well.
Thank you for your time!

Hi Karsten, Thank you very much for replying to my post!
The problem with me using model builder is that i cannot alter the terrain on the data sources. i.e. I wanted to scale up the terrain height by a factor of 2 and I get the error message below.
Hi,
this is as designed. If you want to change the z-scale of the terrain data you need to have the data source available (locally) since InfraWorks wants tr re-calculate the display. Since the data from the Model Builder originates from Bing Maps you do not have the option to edit these.
How about using free SRTM data for the surface? This data is available globally.
Regards,
Karsten
Thanks Karsten, That answers my question. I will try and download the SRTM from the USGS. 🙂
