Drawing a 3-D vector

Using the monorestitution process, you can draw a vector with accurate x, y, and z coordinates. To set up monorestitution, you must have a raw image that has a math-model segment and a digital elevation model (DEM), or an estimate of the elevation.

The math model and DEM are used to set the georeferencing for the math-model area in which the image is displayed without correction in the viewer. Accurate ground coordinates are calculated for each pixel using the pixel and line coordinates, the math model, and the DEM or approximate elevation value.

To draw a 3-D vector

  1. Open a raw image that has a math-model segment.
  2. Click Math Model.
  3. On the Maps tab, right-click a map to which to add a new area, and then click New Area.
  4. On the Editing toolbar, click the arrow beside New Shapes, and then click a tool, as applicable, to draw the vector you want.
