Hi Shawn,

Thanks for posting the log—it shows what’s happening. All three output options are currently unchecked, so LIDEX has no work selected.

Use Route Tiles tells LIDEX which area to process. You also need to select what you want it to create:

• Create Route Tiles — terrain elevations.
• Create Distant Mountains — distant terrain.
• Create OSM / Map Tiles — map overlays and PolyVeg data.

Your log also shows v1.200. Please download v1.500, select the outputs you want, and run Scan again.

If your existing terrain is already how you want it and you only need maps or PolyVeg data, select just Create OSM / Map Tiles.

I created a MASSIVE help document explaining the use of the application and its features - please click the HELP button.

Please use a TEST COPY of your route while getting familiar with the options. Let me know how you get on!

Regards,
Scott

Hi Folks,

SCO LIDEX v1.500 is now available.

This release focuses on improving large-route processing and addressing failures uncovered through recent testing.

• Improved memory handling: OSM and PolyVeg data now process in smaller sections, using temporary disk storage and releasing geometry along the way. Validation reads one feature at a time, reducing memory pressure on large routes.
• More reliable Scan: Elevation checks sample several locations across the route. One uncovered location no longer blocks usable sources found elsewhere. Scan also warns about isolated terrain tiles and identifies their filenames and coordinates.
• Better polygon handling: Empty or negligibly small PolyVeg polygons are skipped with a logged warning instead of aborting the entire run. Other validation checks remain in place.
• More useful diagnostics: Logs include CPU and RAM information, application memory usage, and detailed failure reports to help track down remaining problems.

My latest large-route test successfully completed 4,429 HD map tiles and produced 78,869 valid PolyVeg features, skipping one problematic polygon along the way.

Large routes can still take substantial time and disk space, but these changes should make processing more dependable. Please test on a separate TEST COPY of your route and include the complete SCOLIDEX.log when reporting an issue.

Download SCO LIDEX v1.500

Thanks to everyone who supplied logs and helped test—we’re making progress!

Scott

I knew there was something I was probably doing wrong, so I am glad I could bring that to you. Thanks, I will give V1.5 a try!

I have to admit; I am not as tech savvy as I used to be. I am starting to feel left behind with technology. I can't even figure out my smart phone anymore without the wife helping me. Now I know how my parents felt. hahah

Tried again, is there a way I can change where the temporary files go, such as my external hard drive, rather than my main hard drive? There is hardly anything installed from me on the main drive, yet I am always at 20-40GB's of free space, and this program does not help...

This is actually a little frustrating, just to try and plant trees in the new TSRE of yours. Sigh...

Now unfortunately my C: Drive is stuck at 3.99GB's of free space, and I have no idea how to undo it, even after hitting the "purge" button on this process.

I hate saying it, but this may be too frustrating, and too much of a massive process to get this to work, just to plant some trees.. Guess the old school forest regions is it for me.

[scottb613]

Tried again, is there a way I can change where the temporary files go, such as my external hard drive, rather than my main hard drive? There is hardly anything installed from me on the main drive, yet I am always at 20-40GB's of free space, and this program does not help...

This is actually a little frustrating, just to try and plant trees in the new TSRE of yours. Sigh...

Hi Shawn,

I fully understand the frustration—and I appreciate you sticking with it long enough to send the log. This sort of setup and processing isn’t going to be for everyone. Thanks for the valuable feedback—it helped uncover a problem on my end.

Your route’s terrain coverage reaches across the Canadian border. LIDEX was looking for one map extract covering everything, which resulted in it downloading all of North America—about 18 GB. Processing that enormous file then filled the temporary space on C:, even though your route was on D:.

The new patch will let LIDEX combine smaller regional extracts. Testing against the bounds in your log now selects New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, and Quebec, instead of the entire continent. It will also block an oversized fallback like this for a local route and show the selected sources and download sizes in the log.

That should substantially reduce the download and processing burden. It will still need working space, but feeding it an entire continent to generate trees for your route was the issue I needed to fix.

Thanks again for bringing it to my attention.

Regards,
Scott

Scott,
I guess that would explain such a large file. I had forgotten this route went into Beecher Falls, QC. I tried again, this time with 2048x2048 map sizes. Still a large download, but slowly processing at the moment.

Also turns out my C drive was cluttered with stuff from DropBox and some other useless things. I ended up cleaning some of it up, but now have 60GB free of "237". No idea why they ship the C drive so small now compared to the D drive, but oh well.
Was hoping the temporary process files could go to my F drive, which is where I have this program installed, as it is 600GB's free of 1TB, but that is okay.

Hi Shawn,

I'd hold off for now - I have to code a patch. Just because your route went into Canada - should not be an issue for LIDEX - that's my problem. I should not be pulling the entire continent - I'll fix that in the next update. Sorry for any confusion.

Scott

Okay, holding off! Thanks Scott, I am glad I can help out with these issues!

Scott,

I looked at this program, carefully read the instructions and found that much of the instructions were incomprehensible to me, so I will keep on , keeping on. Looks like a great tool, and if I did not have all of my expected routes set up and DEMEX'd, I would look harder. As it is, the only issue I have with TSRE is the cut/fill capability so when I create a route that I intend to release as "incomplete", I try to avoid using the "F" key as much as I can. Since I do place named signal bungalows, I usually have to do a little shaping at road crossings or control points. I use overlaid topo maps to get the elevations as well as I can, unless those values are on the track charts.

Hi Jerry,

It’s pretty simple - probably just unfamiliar - basically point it at the route you want it to work on - I set the default parameters to what most people should need - a couple of clicks and let it do its thing. The basic choices are yes/no for Terrain Mesh/Distant Mountains/OSM Map Data. You don’t have locate GEOTIFF’s - you don’t have to process GEOTIFF’s - and you don’t have to struggle with memory errors in DEMEX trying to manually stitch terrain together. The whole process is automated and at a higher resolution

LOL - your lamenting cuts and fills in TSRE - opened this coding can of worms for me. That was the impetus for me to figure out how to compile TSRE. I completely reworked the terrain sculpting tools in TSRE GenX - to make them behave better - and I added new tools like the terrain sculpting brush to conform to TDB and RDB. I can’t count the number of hours I’ve wasted trying to fill holes in terrain along a track path - now it takes seconds. You can now have steep cuts and berms. Might be worth a look.

Scott

Scott,
any update on the issues I was having? Also quick question with the water tools. Do I just lay out the water ruler along the bed of the river? I did that a few times but seems like it floods one end and does nothing for the other end, almost like the water is buried. Guessing maybe not fine-tuned at the moment? The saco river from Crawford Notch all the way into Fryeburg is a massive drop in elevation. haha

[landnrailroader]

Scott,

I will take a look at TSRE GenX. In 36 hours, I am on a AA flight to DFW, 2 hour layover, then AA to Santa Fe, NM. I'm a volunteer docent on the C&TS and being 87 and having atrophied vocal fold, this may be my last year. I asked the Dr. if the condition was fatal, and he said no, but you may reduce to a whisper - then my wife jumped for joy, prayers answered. We have a good PA system on the open air car but it may not be good enough in another year. So when I return, I will take a look. I have more than 25 routes in various stages but if I can do the cuts & fills better, it will be a great help. Super detailers can have at it with the fine points. Two routes under construction involve a R.J.Corman operation today where scrap aluminum cans are melted down and made into ingots near Richmond, KY. RJC then by trackage right takes the material from there to Winchester, then on to Louisville where a CSX crew then takes the train RJC engines and all to Memphis Jct. south of Bowling Green, and then RJC takes it on to Russelville where the ingots are made into new cans. Ought to give the activity creators a fit. I am doing the Louisville to Nashville segment now, which includes Memphis Jct. I have Corbin to Cincinnati in progress which covers Richmond to Winchester. Then I might be persuaded to do the roughly 130 miles of other parts, though they are not on my to do list.

Where do you go to get TSRE GenX. It doesn't come up in a library search?

Jerry

Hi Shawn,

I did upload a new version of LIDEX to git - I think it may solve your cross-border continental download issue - LIDEX v1.501.

If you're running the latest TSRE GenX v0.16 - I did use it to add water tiles to the full sloping length of the Delaware from Easton PA to above Belvidere NJ - in a single operation - I made sure I place a couple of Water Ruler points on each tile - and made water depth about .75m. There were a few dry spots - limitations of the tile system we have - so I added a second button to adjust the terrain height - it detects exposed terrain - not islands - and sinks the terrain mesh to ensure the depth is consistent. It seemed to work well for me. There is a new terrain brush as well "Waterbed Offset" it only manipulates terrain with a water tile and sets a consistent terrain height below water tile height - again - intended to help manage any anomalies that may arise.

Regards,
Scott
