GSDA:Steps for Importing NED Data into WMS
From XMS Wiki - http://wikis.aquaveo.com/xms/
- Startup WMS.
- Select Open under the File menu.
- Navigate to the location of the saved data files.
- Select the header file, which will have an *.hdr extension.
HINT: If there are numerous files in the directory you may want to change the Files of Type field to "NED Gridfloat header *.hdr" or "BIL header *.hdr" depending on the file format, to cut down on clutter.
- Open the file, an Importing NED Gridfloat File dialog window will pop-up.
NOTE: The dialog window will correspond to the data format, NED Gridfloat or BIL.
- Simply click the OK button to close the window and import the DEM into WMS.
NOTE: You will be prompted to convert the coordinate system.
- Click the Yes button, a coordinate conversion window will come up.
- Click OK to keep the defaults, and your project is ready to go.
- Go to the coordinate conversion webpage if you need help converting.
