UAV - How can I show slope

[FrostBite]

I flew a fairly steep area that will eventually be logged by a local mill. I created a good orthomosaic and DEM from the photos. The photos penetrated the canopy enough to extrapolate the ground information for DEM.

So now the client now wants slope % information so they can prescribe specific machinery to log in this area.

I have Global Mapper, and have come up with a really basic photo to show the slope. I just don't think it's enough data to present to the client.

Could anyone please give me some advice on how I can best do this? It could be a gamechanger for me to do this properly.

Thanks!

Hello FrostBite,

Please try to switch the "DEM mode" option in the Preferences -> Appearance -> Ortho tab from "Altitude" (default) to "Slope".

Then you can also configure the DEM palette using the corresponding option in the context menu of the Workspace pane by right-clicking on the DEM instance label there.
