Download DEM and Build Terrain Mesh

Download the DEM data and build the terrain mesh (Allow administrator access for Rhino; Wait until the download to be completed in the background and re-enable this component to see the changes)

Inputs

• Left

  Left Bound (Longitude, x-axis) of the site

• Right

  Right Bound (Longitude, x-axis) of the site

• Top

  Top Bound (Latitude, y-axis) of the site

• Bottom

  Bottom Bound (Latitude, y-axis) of the site

• UTM

  UTM Zone of the given region (can be used along with translation vector) to transform data from different sources to a common origin)

• Vec

  Translation vector to move from actual UTM window to working origin (can be used to transform data from different sources to a common origin)

• X Count

  Count of mesh vertices on X axis

• Y Count

  Count of mesh vertices on Y axis

Outputs

• mesh

  Terrain mesh constructed based on the DEM data (data resource: USGS SRTM3 Dataset )

• UTM

  UTM Zone of the given region (can be used along with translation vector) to transform data from different sources to a common origin)

• Vec

  Translation vector to move from actual UTM window to working origin (can be used to transform data from different sources to a common origin)
