Set default shader on startup with script

rayjoslyn — Thu, 15 Jan 2026 01:02:40 +0000

I want to set the default shader when I run a script. What is the script command to do this. I know I can use SHADER_NAME= when importing files, but I don't want to set it per file, I just want to set the global shader that is selected upon starting global mapper

Short cut export Vertex List

Getting started with python

Michele — Mon, 25 Mar 2024 07:44:11 +0000

Hi,

I am stuck trying to start writing python scripts.

Could you help me?

For example I would like to write a script that loops through the selected area features and creates a buffer with the size depending on a custom attribute that the areas have (e.g: "buff_size").

Thank you in advance and best regards

Help with getting attributes for selected features

Michele — Mon, 30 Jan 2023 08:08:08 +0000

Hi,

Sorry if this is an obvious thing but I am stuck on it.

I would like to use python to make a script that, after selecting point features that have SLOPE_DIR attribute, generates an arrow shape oriented by the SLOPE_DIR attribute.

I know I can generate quiver plots easily, but they are only raster and I would like to export the arrows to CAD data.

After getting the selected points by:

selectedPoints = gm.GetSelectedFeatures(4)

I am trying to read attributes from them but I cannot find any example or reference. Please advice on how to proceed.

Best regards

what is wrong with this formula?

RonTheSurveyor — Fri, 21 Jul 2023 01:48:42 +0000

I have run the "chainage" tool on a set of points that are close to a line so that the point attributes now include DIST_TO_LINE and SIDE_OF_LINE. SIDE_OF_LINE is either "L" or "R".

I want to convert the distances on the left side to negative so have created a calculation for a new attribute "OFFSET" which is calculated using the following

IF((SIDE_OF_LINE = 'L'), (-1*DIST_FROM_LINE),(DIST_FROM_LINE))

When I run this, all OFFSETS end up being negative.

When testing, it seems as that the IF statement isn't working. The second option never gets applied. I tried it with the "extra" brackets and without. Also IF and if.

Script Error - Empty Bounds

newlands — Tue, 16 May 2023 15:15:40 +0000

Hi,

I'm trying to write a simple script that will convert a single point from WGS84 to custom state plane projection.

When I run this script, I get a "ERROR: Export bounds empty for EXPORT_VECTOR command." error, but it's not clear to me which bounds option I should use - it's just one point in an otherwise empty workspace.

Here's my draft script (without the file paths):

// Define the input and output file paths

// Load the input file

IMPORT_ASCII FILENAME="%INPUT_FILE%" LAYER_DESC="Import_Points" PROJ=EPSG:4326 ELEV_UNITS=METERS TYPE=POINT_ONLY COORD_DELIM=AUTO

//IMPORT_ASCII FILENAME=".\GPSCOORDS.csv" TYPE=POINT_ONLY COORD_DELIM=AUTO COORD_ORDER=Y_FIRST INC_COORD_LINE_ATTRS=Yes SKIP_COLUMNS=1 SKIP_ROWS=1 PROJ=EPSG:4326 ELEV_UNITS=METERS

// Apply the custom projection

LOAD_PROJECTION PROJ="%PROJECTION_FILE%"

// Save the converted coordinates

EXPORT_VECTOR FILENAME="%OUTPUT_FILE%" EXPORT_LAYER="Import_Points" TYPE=CSV EXPORT_HEADER=NO ADD_LAT_LON=YES EXPORT_ELEV=YES COORD_DELIM=COMMA

// End of script

Ideally, there would be a function in GMS or PY that replicates the "Coordinate Converter" tool in the application: I just want to pass in a point value in one coordinate system and pass out the point in another coordinate system.

Compare 2 raster surfaces, visualize elevation differences

DerrickW — Wed, 22 Mar 2023 20:12:03 +0000

Heya! This is a common process I go through while preparing lidar, binning, and digitizing breaklines to prepare surfaces to go into CAD.

Typical uses -

Checking a binned lidar point cloud (after creating an elevation grid) against the original lidar point cloud (after creating an elevation grid). Mainly, I'm looking for a bin setting that eliminates residual vegetation that was classified as GROUND in the original point cloud, without requiring too much manual cleanup. In this case, I'm looking for +elevation values in the output where residual vegetation exists.
Checking a derivative, simplified surface (CAD-bound) against the original lidar point cloud (after creating an elevation grid) to see if I'm missing breaklines I need to add.

The script will ask for 2x raster surfaces, compare them, and export JPGs scaled to multiple clamped elevations (100%, 50%, 25%, 10% of max elevation difference). It will set up a custom shader called "Elevation Difference - PBS" as well.

Enjoy!

Automation of pad grading via scripting

DENSAN — Mon, 13 Feb 2023 15:17:25 +0000

I want to grade 100 different pad locations using the Site Flatten tool.

Is there an example of a script that can do this task or something similar (either the GM language or python) and record the output volumes? This is my first attempt at scripting.

Thanks,

How can I script export using "All data visible on screen"?

edself — Mon, 23 Jan 2023 11:11:17 +0000

GM knows the screen range as when I use the script builder, it uses GLOBAL_BOUNDS parameter set to the screen corners. But how do I access that info?

The background - I want to create a basemap for a survey area. We are taking a load of geotechnical soils samples for a windfarm.

The user sets up the basemap.gmw as they wish to see it and I import the geotechnical stations and simply export multiple images, each showing one geotechnical sample station at a time.

Do Global Mapper scripts can download rester map from URL

Miroslawa — Wed, 18 Jan 2023 11:08:42 +0000

I would like to create a script, which will create a set of Google Tiles from multiple input files.

At this moment we're downloading over 50 maps from a known URL. Those are coming in Tif or PDF format.

We predefined the shapefiles for cropping the maps, so I want to use them for "looping" the export. Though I'm thinking if there is a way for adding to the script also the download part.

If that's not possible, would you suggest any tool for that? Eg JDownloader?

The original maps are available on FAA website in the URL, where only the date would change: EG: https://aeronav.faa.gov/visual/12-29-2022/PDFs/Albuquerque.pdf

https://aeronav.faa.gov/visual/12-29-2022/sectional-files/Albuquerque.zip

Will add that the Online source built in the GM doesn't display those maps, as something is broken, and additionally we rather be sure what is the actual edition of the chart we're using.

I'm looking for suggestions. :)

It is necessary to iterate through all polygons sequentially in the cycle and get their parameters

gps38region — Tue, 15 Nov 2022 00:18:01 +0000

KV.zip

Hello!

Tell a beginner, I can't figure out the scripts.

There is a layer in which there are several polygons.

Data in the KV attachment.zip

It is necessary to iterate through all polygons sequentially in the loop and get their parameters, name, borders, coordinates, and so on...

That is...

- We take the first polygon,

- we get its boundaries.

- We scale the polygon to the full screen along the borders.

- Save the visible area of the polygon in TIFF with the name of the polygon number.

Repeat for all polygons in the layer.

Thanks.

I am grateful in advance.

gridding multiple lidar layers into multiple grid layers

tim53 — Tue, 27 Sep 2022 20:18:24 +0000

The new script recording tool looks great!

I am trying to create intensity grids from lidar files created via photogrammetry of Mars Curiosity rover Navigation camera stereo 360 degree pans. The project's tools allow me to create csv files of xyzi data (the Navigation cameras are monochrome) that I then batch convert to lidar point clouds in Global Mapper. Next, I grid each layer's intensity values into separate gridded ortho images, then export them all with the same bounding box so that I can filter the images in Photoshop for removal of seams between "wedges".

Up to now, I've done this all interactively, selecting each layer (typically about 20 wedges for a 360 degree panorama) and gridding intensity, at 1 cm/pixel. With the script recording tool, I can create a script to process each image, but it appears they're all being placed into a single layer, which makes it impossible to edit them in photoshop individually. Is there a way to force the grids into separate layers rather than a single layer?

Al.so, so far I have to put in as much interactivity into the recording process as I do manually. Is there a way to create a script that increments to the next visible layer without having to paste in the layer's name?

Here is part of a script I'm running now on 19 navigation camera wedges (which, based on how long it's been running, must be putting all the wedges into a single layer):

GENERATE_ELEV_GRID ELEV_UNITS="METERS" GRID_ALG="BIN_AVG" GRID_BIN_SIZE="-0.01" LAYER_DESC="NLB_575312022ILTLF0690000NCAM00353M1.las (Intensity Values)" \

Contour Script not outputting 3D Shapefiles from script (Works fine loaded inside software)

MikeB_CLT_TPA — Sun, 25 Jul 2021 23:45:56 +0000

Good Evening,

This is my first tile putting a Global Mapper script together so I wanted to see if anyone could help me with an issue I am having. The goal of the script is to perform the whole contour generation process and export of 3d shapefiles as a script instead of running directly in the software. I am able to get the script to run fine but the exported contour shapefiles are not 3D when run through the script. If I perform this same process inside the software the exported contour shapefiles will export correctly as 3D. Is there an error in my script? Also am I using "MAX_THREAD_COUNT" correctly? How do you know what processes will use multi core in Global Mapper?

Dissolving areas to detect voids in rasters

markm0311 — Fri, 30 Jul 2021 18:08:01 +0000

We currently use a combination of GM and ArcMap to detect voids (pixel size and greater) in raster files. I am attempting to use GM scripting to eliminate the need to use ArcMap and conduct all of our process in GM. I have a script written here that will:

1. Load in a directory of raster (.tif) files
2. Generate equal area values for all (.tif) files loaded (with specified parameters)
3. Export those equal areas as a shapefile
4. Unload all rasters and equal area features.
5. Load in the equal areas shapefile that was generated above
6. ...

In step 6 I would like to be able to "dissolve" the loaded shapefile (like in ArcMap) into one area leaving behind my "void" areas, but I am having trouble understanding how I might go about this (*see last line of script provided).

DIR_LOOP_START DIRECTORY="Z:\Edit\miscellaneous\test\Global_Mapper_Scripting\be_rasters" FILENAME_MASKS="*.tif"

Failing to create folders on the server

veddycent — Fri, 15 Jan 2021 12:36:08 +0000

Hi all,

I have a script which writes out some files and creates some folders if they don't exist, standard GM functionality.
However it works great when saving locally but when saving on the server it fails to create the folders.

Here is an example directory its fails on:
\\SERVER\Data\Store\Projects\_GM Script Testing\Data\Terrain\HP50SW\OS\HP50SW - OS.png

Everything in bold does not exist and GM is failing to create the folders/file. It does work if the folders exist but this not an option as there are hundreds of unique folders to create.

Here is the full script
=============================================================================

//Prompt user where to save all the files (pasting the directory is easier than navigation to a folder)

DEFINE_VAR NAME="PROJECT_LOCATION" VALUE="" PROMPT=YES PROMPT_TEXT="Paste project data folder directory: "

//Loops through a group with SHP files to crop the export too

LAYER_LOOP_START FILENAME="SHP_*.shp"

//Gets the tile ID so we can use for the new folder name

How to exclude empty tiles when exporting elevation tiles based on vector layer

Richard.Hamilton — Fri, 01 May 2020 17:28:23 +0000

I am exporting several large vector layers and trying to split them into the same tiles using a vector layer to define the tiles. As all the elevation layers cover slightly different areas there are some tiles which will be empty, but this varies depending on which elevation layer it is working on.
At the moment the script is generating a "blank" file for these empty tiles. Is there a way to tell it to simply skip the empty tiles for each elevation layer?

POLYGON_CROP_FILE not the same result as Crop to Selected Area Feature(s)

veddycent — Tue, 10 Sep 2019 11:13:59 +0000

Hi all,

Hopefully this has an easy solution

I'm running this script to export PNG's and crop to square areas:
EXPORT_RASTER FILENAME="%SAVE_IMAGE_DIR%" TYPE="PNG" POLYGON_CROP_FILE="%LAYER_FNAME_W_DIR%" BG_TRANSPARENT="NO" FORCE_SQUARE_PIXELS="YES" FILL_GAPS="YES"

The raster images are smaller than the crop areas so the exported images when using the script are not the same size as the crop area.
However
Manually exporting the raster and ticking Crop to Selected Area Feature(s) makes the exported image the same size as the crop area.

Is there a reason why the script doesn't do this? Is there a parameter in the script I have missed?

See image below which explains the two different outcomes

Any help/guidance would be much appreciated!

A refresh or redraw of the view would solve this; is there a way??

Custom HTML text for KML/KMZ export

Amanda McDermott — Mon, 29 Jul 2019 17:22:31 +0000

I am trying to export to kmz using custom html text, because I want some but not all of the attribute values to show up in the export. I also want an image to show in the pop up in google earth.

If I use either 'Feature Description and links Only' or 'Feature Description, Links and Attribute Values', the export successfully embeds the linked image - but doesn't show the text how I want it.

If I use custom html, and include %File_LNK_1% (the attribute name for the image reference), the result comes up with the text of the file link, rather than embedding the image, in the pop up. What am I doing wrong please?!

CALC_VOLUME_BETWEEN_SURFACES producing different results than CALC_VOLUMES of subtracted elevations

luiender — Thu, 25 Oct 2018 08:21:27 +0000

I wish to measure the volume difference between two elevation models of the same area. I can either a) measure the volume between the two surfaces or b) subtract the surfaces from each other to create an elevation model of the differences, and then measure the volume change from z=0 plane.

Unfortunately when using Global Mapper scripting the results are wildly different. The two scripting files for each method are:

Feathering within a script

BenMarillier — Mon, 07 Jan 2019 04:29:02 +0000

Hi guys,

I'm combining multiple DEMs in a script to generate a combined terrain model. The script imports several geotiffs, and also imports and interpolates some vulcan triangulations. I would like to apply the feathering to all of the elevation data in the view, using the option:

"feather to polygonal coverage of valid data".

Ideally I'd like to apply the settings directly to each layer as it is imported, or in the case of interpolated data, when the layer is generated.

I can't find any way to do this at the moment? Even if I export the interpolated elevation grids and re-import them, there doesn't seem to a be command to feather for the valid data.

Thanks
Ben
