Hello.
I am trying to confirm if the shaded areas of the image below are visible from some points of interest
I have a generic 5m digital elevation model, and one small more precise, dense photogrammetric mesh in the point of interest.
The two models are aligned pretty well. I have set up one rhino camera 1.6m above ground level.
Looking at the camera view I find two problems.
If I turn off the 5m elevation model I am not able to see the magenta shaded areas.
If I have both models open I am seeing a strange hole in the photogrammetric model. Again I am not able to see the shaded areas. But why i am seeing this hole?
Until now I was using shaded mode in the viewport.
The big problem is when I change to render mode.
Then the camera ignores the obstacles before the target point and I am able to see the shaded magenta areas which obviously is not correct.
If I move the target at a lower elevation I am seeing more. I am able to see through the mountain.
Why does this happen? Is there a setting to change this camera behavior? I know Vray has a setting for that. I wasn’t expecting to be on by default in Rhino.
My model has big coordinates (210800,4334800). This is a problem for render software but I don’t think is the case in my situation
