In SOCET GXP v3.1.1 and beyond a shapefile is defined by a Specification File, the backbone or structure of the shapefile, and a Style Sheet, the symbology or graphics properties of the shapefile. SOCET GXP includes a default Specification File and a default Style Sheet. Both of these default values, configured in the Preferences file, can be customized and saved as new default values for an individual project]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/creating-custom-shapefiles-in-socet-gxp/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/visualizing-terrain-with-the-slope-map-tool http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/visualizing-terrain-with-the-slope-map-tool#comments Thu, 26 May 2011 02:59:19 +0000 kara.kellogg http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=3460
Submitted by Chris Mazur GXP senior systems engineer What is the slope map tool used for in SOCET GXP? SOCET GXP contains terrain analysis tools for in-depth geospatial awareness and analysis, such as Terrain Shaded Relief (TSR) displays. Now capabilities have been expanded to include more complex functionality for elevation slope and aspect analysis, terrain comparison, volume calculations, [...]]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/visualizing-terrain-with-the-slope-map-tool/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/using-socet-gxp-to-measure-changes-in-coal-mining-piles http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/using-socet-gxp-to-measure-changes-in-coal-mining-piles#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 05:59:04 +0000 kara.kellogg http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=3167
BAE Systems’ regional GXP support team in St. Louis received an inquiry from a SOCET SET customer who was interested in measuring and monitoring piles of coal extracted from mines. The following scenario describes how SOCET GXP can be used to establish baseline coal volume at mining facilities, and outlines a methodology for measuring coal periodically to gain a perspective of what is actually mined, shipped and maintained.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/using-socet-gxp-to-measure-changes-in-coal-mining-piles/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/setting-elevation-values-using-socet-for-arcgis%c2%ae-and-esri%c2%ae-plts http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/setting-elevation-values-using-socet-for-arcgis%c2%ae-and-esri%c2%ae-plts#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 02:00:58 +0000 gxpwebadmin http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=2070
I’m using SOCET for ArcGIS® with ESRI® Production Line Tool Set (PLTS) and my elevation values are wrong when updating a feature. What is causing this? PLTS may be overwriting the elevation values when a feature is modified. To eliminate this behavior uncheck the following option: 1. From the ArcMap® main menu, select PLTS > Properties…. 2. Switch to the Z Management panel and uncheck the Update Z values on modify option.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/setting-elevation-values-using-socet-for-arcgis%c2%ae-and-esri%c2%ae-plts/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/stereoscopic-viewing-systems-for-socet-gxp-and-socet-set http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/stereoscopic-viewing-systems-for-socet-gxp-and-socet-set#comments Thu, 10 Dec 2009 01:50:36 +0000 gxpwebadmin http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=2201
Many customers have asked us about the NVDIA® 3-D Vision system with the Samsung LCD flat panel monitor for stereoscopic viewing. We are excited about this new technology as an inexpensive alternative to other stereoscopic systems, and we have tested the system on Microsoft® Windows® XP and Vista™ operating systems with an NVIDIA Quadro® FX series video card.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/stereoscopic-viewing-systems-for-socet-gxp-and-socet-set/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/tips-on-how-to-transition-from-socet-set%c2%ae-to-socet-gxp%c2%ae http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/tips-on-how-to-transition-from-socet-set%c2%ae-to-socet-gxp%c2%ae#comments Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:30:47 +0000 gxpwebadmin http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=1807
The photogrammetric strengths of SOCET SET^® are now available in SOCET GXP^®, which gives users increased flexibility and accuracy. New automated tools for triangulation, terrain model generation, and orthorectification are easy to use, making complex processes and workflows more efficient.]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/tips-on-how-to-transition-from-socet-set%c2%ae-to-socet-gxp%c2%ae/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/what-is-the-automatic-terrain-generation-module-used-for http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/what-is-the-automatic-terrain-generation-module-used-for#comments Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:00:07 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=1619
The Automatic Terrain Generation (ATG) module in SOCET GXP provides fully automated capabilities to extract elevation data from stereo imagery. The intuitive interface provides user friendly options for creating accurate, high-resolution digital terrain models (DTM). ]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/what-is-the-automatic-terrain-generation-module-used-for/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/time-tampering http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/time-tampering#comments Thu, 26 Mar 2009 22:00:04 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/?p=1162
Time tampering is the process of rolling back the system clock on a PC, tricking an application into continuing to function when it should have been disabled after a limited time, such as with trial versions. There are legitimate reasons for changing the system date and time, for example, clearing a system for classified use. ]]> http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/time-tampering/feed 0 http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/what-is-the-socet-gxp-see-module-used-for http://www.socetgxp.com/gxpmosaic/q-a/what-is-the-socet-gxp-see-module-used-for#comments Tue, 02 Dec 2008 01:00:38 +0000 cgordon http://www.socetset.com/gxpmosaic/?p=960
The Spatially Enabled Exploitation (SEE) module for SOCET GXP lets analysts capture daily collects directly into the ESRI® geodatabase using the SOCET GXP Multiport viewing window.
