google earth import - image size not work

[jeremyN]

Hi,
We face an issue with the tool "import from google earth" that I'll try to explain here.

Irricad standalone V18.06 (win10) users in my team and I have an issue with using the "image size" menu in "import from google earth" tool:
--> whatever is selected (standard/medium/large) for the image size, it has no effect and the image which is imported i always with standard size.

however, another irricad user in my team, using irricad standalone V18.06 ( WIN 7 ) checked this, and this functionality works perfectly on his computer. He got and PNG image around 2Mo (with standard selected) and another around 37Mo ( with large selected) for the same geographical area captured.

I tried to compare the "IrricadGEImport.ini" files between him and I:
-api keys are same
-image size varies correctly on both computers from 0 to 2, depending on the size selected in the menu

Do you have an idea to solve this issue?

thx

Hi Jeremy,

First I would check your IrricadGEImport.ini files again. Look for the following lines:

Code: Select all

0ImageWidth=1
0ImageHeight=1
1ImageWidth=3
1ImageHeight=3
2ImageWidth=5
2ImageHeight=5

These dictate the number of screen captures wide and high used for the Standard, Medium and Large image sizes.

Also note that, if the utility determines that there is nothing to be gained by using multiple captures, then it will only use a single one (that is, if the desired area already fits on one screen at maximum zoom).

Another possibility is that the machine does not have enough memory to perform the image processing, though this is unlikely in a modern machine.

Also, please remember that there are image display limits in Irricad standalone, related mostly to the pixel dimensions of the image. Depending upon your display resolution and the Image size option you choose, it is possible to capture and process an image that is too large for Irricad to display. Typically when this happens, the image might display initially but can disappear on zooming or reloading the design.

Regards,

Dan

Hi Dan, yes that work!
all the lines that your indicated were missing in our IN file. So I added those and it's ok.

thanks a lot. BR
