TIFF DATA ISSUE IN IW

Anonymous — Tue, 06 Jun 2017 12:55:15 GMT

Hello everyone,

I have a question about TIFF data. So i've created new surface (TIFF data) in Autocad 3D Map, now im trying to insert this TIFF data to IW360. As im inserting it to IW model, it makes my IW Model invisible when i delerT this TIFF surface from IW, my model comes back

Any Idea about?

Just would like to menion that, ive checked coordinates, so all is correct.

Hi @Anonymous, can you share the tiff image? and upload a screenshot of what you are experiencing.

It could be a video driver issue.

Right-click on the tif image in your Data Connections and choose Configure. Once in the dialog box, click the Raster tab. Pick the ellipsis for Color Masking. Choose the color white, or you can use the color picker option.

Thanks for the answer

here is the screen shots

1) TIFF Image

Hi @Anonymous, not too sure what the first file should be showing I just see a white image...???

But I noticed on the data configuration image that you uploaded that the image is configured as ground or terrain.

Can you delete that and inserted again making sure that it gets configures as Ground Image...

Is that Geo Tiff?

Can you share the image?

Hi @Anonymous,

do you have any more information about the tiff meta data (number of bands, bits)?

It could be that the image just has more bands or bit depth than InfraWorks can handle.

Regards,

Karsten.

One aspect of your Geotiff are the unusual bounding coordinates.

The Easting value is much larger (in metres) than that which is possible in Zone 32.

Where on earth is this?

Dear Roskirko,

Thanks for your reply.

The surface is in the south of Germany, UTM N32. Just id like to ask wich program did you use to check TIFF image coordinates

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous, thank for the file, this is what I get in Map

Those are the coordinates that the file has, I am trying to create an IW model but this is a big file, so is taking a little be to process...

Hi @Anonymous,

your Tiff file is a raster terrain/surface.
The problem is that it has cooridnates in long ETRS89 notation, means there is a leading 32 (Mio.)

Autodesk programs always use the short notation.

Your solution is to create a custom coordinate system in Map/Civil 3D that deals with the long notation.

Check this page for a description of how to do that:

Alternatively, move your image: x = -32000000.

Regards,

Karsten.

Thanks For th reply Dear Saenger

Just would like to write that, i cretaed this TIFF image in AutoCAD 3D MAP. so probably i did mistake on coordinate System or GRID Map

Thank you so much

That could explain why I could not make this match with any CCS and the GEO location map

I converted the file coordinates and named it SG1Clip.tif. It seems to work in Infraworks 2018 as a terrain data source using a User Coordinate System of UTM84 32N. I used PCI Geomatica 2017 for the conversion.
