Apply Bitmap to Relief

Modify a relief surface using a bitmap by using the bitmap gray scale to vary the relief height. The Height parameter controls the maximum height of the applied bitmap, and the Application Method is the same as the Common Tool Parameters.

  1. Import the bitmap into the workspace containing the relief surface

  2. Position the bitmap on top of the relief

  3. Activate the Apply Bitmap command

  4. Set the Height and Application Method parameters in the dialogue window

  5. Click Apply to create the final relief

Using a Mask

Any contour that is not part of the relief boundary will act as a mask when applying a bitmap to a relief surface. Before activating the Apply Bitmap command, select the relief, bitmap, and masking contours to automatically incorporate a mask. The masking contour will limit the application of the bitmap to within the masking contours.
