Download TerraPage Database Configuration for SubrScene

TerraPage Database Configuration for SubrScene
1) After build using TerraVista, the project will contain a new directory called “page”.
2) Make a directory in the ${TERRAIN_PATH} directory. Default location is
${SSCENE_PATH}\Terrain, but older installs of SubrScene will contain a WAVE
directory which will have the Terrain directory
3) Move “page” directory to newly created AOI directory.
4) Rename “page” directory to “Visual” directory
5) Make a “Config” directory in the AOI directory
6) Copy projinfo.txt from the “Visual” directory to “Config” directory
7) Make “database.ini” file in “Config” directory.
8) Setup “database.ini” file
a. Using the projinfo.txt file, find the originlat and originlon of the database
b. The “database.ini” has 5 sections.
i. File header
1. “version3”
ii. Database Origin
1. “set NORTH_ORIGIN <value>” value is from the projinfo.txt
file
2. “set EAST_ORIGIN <value>” value is from the projinfo.txt
file
iii. Database Paths
1. “set DB_PATH <directory location>” note the default env
paths can be used for “TERRAIN_PATH” and
“SSCENE_PATH”
2. “set DB_TEX_PATH <directory location>” note the default
env paths can be used with “${SSCENE_PATH}”
3.
iv. Set LOD Scale
1. “set DB_LOD_SCALE <float>” this line item sets the culling
distance for the database. The smaller the number the closer in
you will have to be for an object to show up.
v. DBASE Tiles
1. “TILE archive.txp 0 0 0” This line tells SubrScene to attach a
tile to reference system 0,0,0. Multiple tiles can be added to
this section if needed
9) Add AOI Terrain to ssControl
a. Select the “Database” tab on the ssControl application. Next type in your new
named database AOI. To complete the addition, press the Add Database.
b. After the “Add Database” button is pressed, select your new AOI database
from the list. Then add the Origin Latitude, Longitude to the fields below.
c. Once this is complete, save the changes and SubrScene ssControl is ready for
your new database.
