Select the 'Show DEM Module' to start the next DEM Viewer:

The menu functions 'View' and 'Options' are the same as described in the paragraph on Common Features in Stereo Viewers chapter.

The purpose of the DEM Module is the measurement of height points.

This module provides for:

1. the random measurement of DEM points
2. the measurement of DEM points on a predefined grid

These methods are both manual, and therefore don't add a quality factor to the measured DEM point.

Follow the next steps to measure a DEM point:

1. Put the floating mark on the ground using the scroll mouse button as described in 'Moving the Floating Mark'.
2. Measure the height value by pressing the button.
   The XYZ point will be added to the Project DEM set. \ A small cross will be drawn in the stereo viewer.

Follow the next steps to delete a DEM point:

1. Put the floating mark in the neighborhood of the DEM point you want to delete as described in 'Moving the Floating Mark'.
2. Press the button to make the deletion effective.

1. The grid size is defined in 'Step 1: Project Settings' of the Project wizard.
2. Pressing the arrow icons moves the floating mark to the next grid point in the direction of the arrow.
3. Put the floating mark on the ground using the scroll mouse button as described in 'Moving the Floating Mark'.
4. measure the height value by pressing the button.
   The XYZ point will be added to the Project DEM set.
   A small cross will be drawn in the stereo viewer.

Pressing the save button saves the project's DEM in '{Projectname}.sdp'.
