01

Adapt the survey grid to the terrain

Use the built-in ASTER GDEM or import a georeferenced GeoTIFF DEM. Route heights follow the elevation model across the polygon instead of staying at one fixed elevation.

Terrain following on a free route

Apply the same elevation-based planning to a free route. The 3D view shows the route against the terrain surface so its changing height can be reviewed.
