Right now we have topo data in DWG format, we need to run it through civil3d to convert it to a format that is better for WPS, once done we pass it through wps

update instruction on how to add srtm data before we forget @melius30

Manual conversion has been done. yet align function wasn't working. Turns out surveyor had their own coordinate system. Just got updated with how to switch it to typical coordinate system hope to work on it soon

Here is what the email said:

The survey is in our own local coordinate system. I’ve developed a quick and dirty way to translate our files to lat/long if you’re trying to use the model with other data. We’re also finalizing contracts now to transition all our surveys over to the state plane system. If you can wait, we hopefully will have a new survey in the next month or so in state plane. If you want to try doing a rough translation yourself, below are a few survey monuments in both our local system and lat/long.

Surveyed Monument Coordinates

Local Survey Monument Local Northing Local Easting Surveyed Latitude Surveyed Longitude
516 305640.45 237957.72 38.5028723 -121.1692106
518 312260.48 228588.55 38.5210554 -121.2019495
512 317117.07 232706.24 38.5343899 -121.1875541

If you’re using AutoCAD Civil 3D, you can try following these steps to translate all items in the files I provided:

  1. Set the coordinate system for the drawing as California Zone II, US Foot (CAHP-IIF).
  2. Select all items in the drawing.
  3. Use the move function to offset the items the following distances:
X Y
6561399.017 1640321.318


  1. Check that survey monument 518 is located in the northern corner of the intersection for Kiefer Blvd and Grant Line Road.

Parker will do the arcmap step Elius will do the qgis step i.e. load the shapefile turn it into raster convert to WPS binary Elius will add this to WPS folder and run
