Move elevations - MDT25

11.16 Move Elevations

This option allows one to modify all the elevation in a cross-section file. By marking the name of the file to be processed on the selection window, one then enters the relative elevation adjustment (negative or positive).

When the command is executed, the following dialog box appears and one enters the Origin and Destination files, as well as the height Displacement to be applied.

MDT automatically creates a backup file of the original file, with the same name and a .BAK extension.

Example: Cross-sections before and after applying an elevation displacement of +85.0 m
