Hi rexi, yes thats right, SAGA GIS has really a lot of features. And I was surprised how fast SAGA GIS works with map data. No comparison to other free GIS tools, like Quantum GIS.

I think I fixed that too. It seems to be important that no winds are defined before the script is executed. After I deleted a former defined geostrophic wind the failure was gone. Sorry for posting so much, but maybe others have similar problems ;)

Hello again, I think I found the answer to my question for myself. In the German Version of Excel the sheets are not called "Sheet1" etc. but "Tabelle1" ... I had to change this in the script. Might be the case for any other foreign language version of excel. After I corrected that, another failure message occured: Could not invoke the script because ... failed to execute the script LiDAR_Error.wes2 Modified: 24.01.2011 12:40:58 because ... the system reported that: 'Typen unverträglich: 'CurrentProject.AddMeasuredWind'.' The last statement means "incompatible types". How can I fix that? Tank you! Tobias

Hello everyone, I'm trying to use the "LIDAR correction in complex terrain"-script. I set up a map with the locations M and L, created some heights and started the script. After the "Start?" dialogue I always get this message: Could not invoke the script because ... failed to execute the script LiDAR_Error.wes2 Modified: 28.04.2009 15:56:00 because ... the system reported that: 'Index außerhalb des gültigen Bereichs.' The last statement could be translated with "Index out of valid range" or maybe "Index out of bounds". I have no idea what the reason for this is. Can anyone help me? Is there anything to do with setting up the Installation and Application Folders or is this done automatically? Do I have to change any path in the script file? Thank you for your help! Tobias

Try using SAGA GIS: http://www.saga-gis.org/en/index.html You can definatly open shape files and dfx files and it has an wasp map file export option.

In the meanwhile I found a solution by myself, so for everyone who i interested: The Map Editor can import xyz files, but only gridded ones (I hope that is right). So for my file it did not work. The program SAGA GIS (opensource) provides various import function. It can also import xyz files and convert them into many other formats. The program Quantim GIS (also opensource) can then calculate heightcountours from the rasterdata. After that these countourdata (shape files) can be converted to WAsP mape files with SAGA GIS.

Thank you for your answer. This might help, but GlobalMaper is quiet expansive. :-( I found another software (SAGA GIS), which has a function to export wasp maps. It works with height contours very well. If I set the roughness attributes as you say it might also work for roughness maps. Do you mean to set the roughnes attributes for every polygon? Or does that only work with lines? Thank you!

Have you found an answer to your question? I have a similar problem. I have dxf files that contain information of the land usage. In order to that I want to create a roughness map for wasp by adding information about roughness length to the polygons in the dxf files. Thanks for your answer

Hello! I'm trying to import a .xyz File to the Map Editor. It is about 23.6 MB large and contains appr. 800,000 lines. The Map Editor crashes at about one third of the import process. Is there a limit in size or are there any other known issues concerning this problem? Thank you in advance! I hope anyone can help me!

Hello, first of all thank you for your answer! I read the articles you suggested and they help me very well finding out the limitations of the model. Maybe I will come back here later if I have any other questions. Best regards, Tobias

Hello everyone! I want to use WAsP or WEng for the simulation of wind flow in complex terrain in combination with the script from Bingöl, that gives corrections for lidar measurements. I'm still thinking about which software I should buy for that case. The script mentioned above uses Wasp Engineering and not WAsP (is that right?). So is it necessary to buy both tools or would WAsP Engineering be sufficient? The function i need are: I want to use the script and if possible calculate the RIX (which also the script does automatically). I want to correct data measured by a Windcube lidar and (if possible) do calculations with met. mast data. I'm looking forward to your help and comments, thanks in adcance Tobias
