I am completely lost but I’m looking to get a STL file on the topographic data that can be found at this site https://portal.gplates.org/cesium/ when configured in topography, Columbus, with a v scale of 100. so far I have tried messing with Gplates but found no way to even understand the data.
im just a student making a massive CNC’d map as a cool project for students to learn with
if i could do this with a program i would like that as it allows for smaller areas to be done for more detailed area like if i wanted to do a country
i know that the data (i want under water too) was made by earthbyte but have no idea what the data is formatted in and i cant seem to find just a topo map
Hi Piman,
The topography data we used at https://portal.gplates.org/cesium/ can be found here https://topex.ucsd.edu/WWW_html/srtm15_plus.html.
And you can try to convert it to STL with this https://plugins.qgis.org/plugins/DEMto3D/
And here is some info about how to use the topography data in GPlates https://figshare.com/projects/SRTM15_V2_0/62045
