Universal Transverse Mercator Projections

The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection is defined by eight parameters.

When specifying a Universal Transverse Mercator projection for a terrain image layer, your terrain image files must be aligned with false (projected) north towards the top of the image, and false east to the right of the image.

To specify a UTM projection for any terrain image source, you must open the Terrain Images.cfg file in a text editor such as Notepad, set the Projection Info parameter to “TransverseMercatorProjection”, and add settings for the UTM projection.

To specify a Universal Transverse Mercator projection

1. In the Server Files Manager, click Components to view its contents. The Terrain Images.cfg file is located within this directory.

2. Right-click the check mark in the server name column for Terrain Images.cfg, then click Make Local. A check mark appears in the Temp column for Terrain Images.cfg.

3. Right-click the newly created check mark in the Temp column and click Open > in Notepad. The Terrain Images.cfgfile appears in a Notepad window.

4. Edit the Projection Info parameters using the following sample file fragment and parameters table as guides. Be sure to specify the projection type as highlighted below.

   Projection Info = TransverseMercatorProjection:
     Ellipsoid Inverse Flattening = double: 294.9786982139006
     Ellipsoid Semimajor Axis = double: 6378206.4000000004
     False Easting = double: 500000
     False Northing = double: 0
     Northwest Corner Coordinates = v3d: (550339, 5.42059e+006, 0)
     Prime Meridian = double: -123
     Scale Factor = double: 0.9996
     Southeast Corner Coordinates = v3d: (555099, 5.41356e+006, 0)
