This page will cover several frequently asked questions related to the Survey Manager.

Raster (GeoTiffs, ECW, Mosaics)

Raster related questions.

Subject

Question

Answer

Geotiff

Why is my Geotiff not showing in the Survey Manager even though I can load it into the Navigation Display?

Survey Manager looks at the geodetic settings in the file.
If they do not match with the project settings, the image will be reprojected so it is still drawn in the correct location.

It might be that the coordinates in the file are correct for the project's geodetic settings, but the header of the file contains other geodetic settings.

In this case try to change the geodetic settings with the software with which you originally created the geotiff.

Answer

Squire not started

Why do I get the following pop-up?

This means that a process that visualizes several file types in the Survey Manager is not started or the SVM is not able to connect to it.

This because this can have several causes and we want to figure out what they are so we can address them. In Qinsy 9.7.1 we fixed one of the main problems, but there are still reasons for Squire not to start. So please let us know if you run into this.
