-
Work with large-size DEMs at any resolution (detailed local LIDAR DEMs to continent-sized 90-meter SRTM data)
-
Automatically determine illumination parameters for relief shading to match a particular location, date, and time of day
-
Compute slope in decimal or integer degrees or as percent slope

Determine viewshed from points placed manually or loaded from any geometric object (vector, CAD, or shape)
-
Adjust height above surface indepently for each viewpoint
-
Adjust field of view independently for each viewpoint by entering values or using on-screen graphics
-
Determine changes in elevation through time due to erosion,
landsliding, or human activities
-
Derive stream networks, watersheds, and subwatersheds along with many geomorphic and hydrographic attributes
-
Perform contouring, surface fitting, and triangulation operations
