Hi,

I imported one into a space, https://cospac.es/7xmU.
I hoped the library objects could interact with the terrain; i.e. a spheres simulating water flow, characters walking on the surface. Those won’t work because the bounding box around the .stl file. You could use a path but it would have to be shaped to the terrain which isn’t practical.

How are you going to using the terrain file?

Hi, yes.

so what would you suggest?

#6

I am not using terrain files as a ground to walk on but to show students with AR the surface of our country.
@MrWolken shared his idea to use it but I didn`t get the idea with the water.

Great, thanks!
Is it possible to zoom in in order to understand the terraim resolution?
Is the resolution adaptable and can be configured during its manufactorng?

#10

Hi,
Did you try to download a STL file from the site I mentiones earlier? (http://jthatch.com/Terrain2STL)
the resulotion can be configured there, I recommend you try it before further discussion :slight_smile:
