01- Prepare and export Vector vIA GIS Softwares

Created: January 25, 2024  Updated: January 25, 2024

As with DTM data, GIS Terrain Loader Pro requires that you do a little work to prepare your GIS VectorData before importing into Unity Engine. The processes to meet the specifications are very straightforward, but necessary to ensure you achieve the best results in Unity. We’ve created Step-by-Step Tutorials to show you how to prepare data GIS Softwares (QGIS and Globalmapper).

GIS Terrain Loader Pro support more functionality to automate the process of preparing your data, such as supporting more data formats, 

read re-projected data in different projections. 

GIS Terrain Loader Pro initially supports  the following Formats:

• • • *.Osm : OpenStreetMap Informations , 

    • *.Shp : ESRI Geometry data, 

    • *.GPX : GPS Exchange Format", 

    • *.KML: Keyhole Markup Language

    • *.Geo-Json: Geographical Vector GeoJSON features 

        Projection/Datum

Your VectorData data can be stored in any projection/datum combination, GIS Terrain Loader Pro will re-project your data to the same projection as your DEM data when you import it.

      Vector Shapes

GIS Terrain Loader Pro now supports Point/Multipoint, Linestring/Multilinestring, Polygons/Multipolygons. (Read more)    

To Import the VectorData correctly we need to do a little work to prepare your Data before importing them into Unity Engine, by following these steps (we will work with ShapeFile) : (Download Example)

STEP 01: Import Shapefile in Unity : Create VectorData

STEP 02: Import Shapefile in Unity : Add Attributes/Values to vectordata

STEP 03: Import Shapefile in Unity : import vectordata and generate 3d objects

STEP 04: Import Shapefile in Unity : Generate 3D Objects
