HumbleChief Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 He does talk a little weird, but never misses a Chief fix. Scott did ask for a guru, I think Glenn fits the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Email reply from Brian confirming the behaviour: Thanks Glenn, You are correct, currently we do not auto update when only the 2D view is open. I have logged a request on your behalf in our database to see what we can do to make this work. There may have originally been some performance reasons for why we did not enable this, but I am not sure we will look into to it though. Thanks, I am looking forward to meeting all you guys when I come over in August/September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Glenn, Check the video at the 5:00 minute mark to see the terrain fail to re-draw. I've had this happen without a crash as well and always with the 3D view open as that's the only way I can tell if the terrain is changing or not. It's random and rare but I've had it happen twice that I can remember. http://www.screencast.com/t/3Ek3wjToLptQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshall Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks Glenn, You are correct, currently we do not auto update when only the 2D view is open. I have logged a request on your behalf in our database to see what we can do to make this work. There may have originally been some performance reasons for why we did not enable this, but I am not sure we will look into to it though. Thanks, I had not recognized the fact that the terrain did not auto update unless a 3d view was open, ( I ain't as smart as Glenn). However, I have a hot key to REBUILD TERRAIN so it is not a big deal for me. Just a thought for you guys who want to see the terrain updated without having to close the program.

HumbleChief Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 When it stops rebuilding the terrain (and it won't be easy to convince anyone that this actually happens until it happens to them) pressing the rebuild terrain button does not rebuild the terrain. When it decides to stop re-building it just stops rebuilding. Again I think you have to see it in person to really get the phenomenon. If I find it happen again I'll record it.

jcaffee Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 What Larry said. I have noticed more anomalies in X7 whilst Chrome is playing movies (usually Netflix, sometimes Hulu) or Spotify--oh brother, CA and Spotify web payer in IE don't mix. So much for that App sandbox out of web browsers, eh? jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Larry, That problem you demonstrate with the error message looks to be a completely different problem than the contours not updating without a 3D view open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HumbleChief Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I believe that this could explain why some users are reporting that the terrain is not updating automatically when it should. I think the terrain is updating OK - it's just that the contours aren't updating without a 3D view being open.. It was meant to address this assertion.

robdack Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So does anyone have any experience with taking surveyed elevations in X,Y,Z format into Chief. Some sort of software that could be used to convert data to the proper format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kbird1 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 So does anyone have any experience with taking surveyed elevations in X,Y,Z format into Chief. Some sort of software that could be used to convert data to the proper format? I may not understand the Question but Chief already does that via the Import Terrain Data Wizard ...see page 741 of the Ref. Manual or help File. probably best to start your own thread if you have issues... M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
