Hello,

In the DTM editor there are some things that i don't get. It might sound stupid, but I just want to know why you should use them and what is so special about it ^^.

Areasize - the size of the location

1 would be the average size of a pixel…
2 would be two pixels…
3 would be three pixels…
ect….

AreaShape - is the shape in the AreaSize….

:: << Rectangle
+ << Cross
X << diagonal Cross

So for example you have got a pic like

You can use area size of 4 and then it will make a point of 4 pixels, in my case of the middle? That could become handy for making it different from all other objects :X. Or am i wrong? ^^

Thanks :)

it could be helpful, on things like.. mini map roads…

if you want it to click more in the center of the road…

i'm not understanding ur explanation of area shape….can u possibly elaborate a tiny bit more :)

Area shape is the shape of the area to look in.
Explanation:
if you have area size 3, there are three ways to look for the pixel in that area size:
rectangle:

###
###
###

cross:

  #
###
  #

Diagonal cross:

# #
  #
# #

If you set the areasize higher, the point WON'T be greater. Instead of that it will look around the point for the color:

...........................
......X....................
....#......................
...........................
...........................
...........................

Imagine X is the location of the pixel in your dtm. However, that pixel isn't at that location, but at location #. Without an area size it wouldn't find the DTM, but if you set the areasize to three (rectangle), it will look around point X and it would find point #.
