i'm trying to export elevation data to an stl. is there a trick to this? the stl files i've created are always massivelly exagerated in the verticle.

    It sounds like you are exporting with the X and Y coordinate as lat/lon values and the elevations in whatever linear vertical units were selected. To fix this, simply change to a projected system with the same linear units (like UTM) on the Projection tab of the Configuration dialog prior to exporting the STL file.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,
