Automatic Update of geoimage texture on Terrain?

[techdef]

Hi, Ive got a terrain model used for several projects so it lives in its own file and is referenced into the projects themselves. Every time I want to do anything showing the image on the terrain model I have to open the terrain file and click "update" on the terrain model. Is there really no way to get the image to load/display without doing so? It also makes using the cloud rendering impossible.

AFAIK

 

The geoimage texture is adaptive. Means it will update if

you move (and maybe extend) your DTM.

 

But as the DTM is pretty static and not adaptive when moving 🙂

that doesn't make much sense.

And it is strange why the current image will not simply be cached

in the file.

 

A workaround may be to deactivate the Geoimage from the DTM,

save a 2D geoimage and create a RW Texture from it to apply

the the DTM.

(Not experienced enough with DTM if you can attach a RW texture

directly to a DTM or need to ungroup a copy first)
